NCIt synonyms : Anti-CTLA4 Human Monoclonal Antibody CP-675,206; Anti-CTLA4 Human Monoclonal Antibody CP-675 206; Immunoglobulin G2, Anti-(Human CTLA-4 (Antigen)) (Human Monoclonal CP-675206 Clone
11.2.1 Heavy Chain) Disulfide with Human Monoclonal CP-675206 Clone 11.2.1 Light Chain,
Dimer; Tremelimumab-actl;
NCIt related terms : ticilimumab;
NCIt definition : A human IgG2 monoclonal antibody directed against the T-cell receptor protein cytotoxic
T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4). Tremelimumab binds to CTLA4 and blocks
the binding of the antigen-presenting cell ligands B7-1 and B7-2 to CTLA4, resulting
in inhibition of B7-CTLA4-mediated downregulation of T-cell activation; subsequently,
B7-1 or B7-2 may interact with another T-cell surface receptor protein, CD28, resulting
in a B7-CD28-mediated T-cell activation unopposed by B7-CTLA4-mediated inhibition.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A monoclonal antibody being studied in the treatment of melanoma and some
other types of cancer. Ticilimumab is made in the laboratory and binds to a protein
called CTLA-4 on T cells (a type of white blood cell). CTLA-4 is involved in preventing
the activation of T-cells. Ticilimumab may block CTLA-4 and help the immune system
kill cancer cells. It is a type of immunomodulatory agent.;
