NCIt synonyms : Anti-CD137 Monoclonal Antibody; Immunoglobulin G4, Anti-(Human Receptor 4-1BB) (Human Gamma-Chain), Disulfide with
Human Kappa-Chain, Dimer;
NCIt definition : A fully human agonistic monoclonal antibody targeting the CD137 receptor with potential
immunostimulatory and antineoplastic activities. Anti-CD137 monoclonal antibody specifically
binds to and activates CD137-expressing immune cells, stimulating an immune response,
in particular a cytotoxic T cell response, against tumor cells. CD137 is a member
of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)/nerve growth factor (NGF) family of receptors and
is expressed by activated T- and B-lymphocytes and monocytes; its ligand has been
found to play an important role in the regulation of immune responses.;
