NCIt synonyms : Immunoglobulin G4, Anti-(Human Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating-Factor Receptor
alpha-Chain) (Human Monoclonal CAM-3001 Heavy Chain), Disulfide with Human Monoclonal
CAM-3001 lambda-Chain, Dimer;
NCIt definition : A human IgG4 monoclonal antibody targeting the alpha chain of the granulocyte-macrophage
colony-stimulating factor receptor (GM-CSF-Ra), with potential immunomodulating activity.
Mavrilimumab binds to GM-CSF-Ra and inhibits the GM-CSF-mediated pathway. This may
inhibit inflammation. GM-CSF and its receptor are upregulated in a number of autoimmune
diseases and play a key role in the activation, differentiation and function of both
granulocytes and monocytes.;
