NCIt synonyms : Kriakinumab; Immunoglobulin G1, Anti-(Human Interleukin-12 Subunit Beta (IL-12 Subunit P40, CLMF
P40 or NKSF2)); Human Monoclonal Gamma-1 Heavy Chain (218-216')-Disulfide with Human
Monoclonal Gamma Light Chain, Dimer (224-224'':227-227'')-Bisdisulfide;
NCIt definition : A human monoclonal antibody directed against the human interleukins 12 (IL-12) and
23 (IL-23), with immunomodulating activity. Briakinumab binds to both IL-12 and IL-23,
which prevents IL-12- and IL-23-mediated signaling. This may suppress immune responses
mediated by these interleukins. The cytokines IL-12 and IL-23 play an important role
during inflammation.;
