Raxibacumab (ABthrax) is a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody against Bacillus anthracis protective antigen. HGS is currently providing stockpiles of the agent to the US government for use in the prevention and treatment of inhalation anthrax. As of May 2009, the candidate was undergoing review by the US Food and Drug Administration. The availability of bioterrorism countermeasures has become more important since the September 2001 anthrax attacks, and development of raxibacumab is a significant advance in this area.
里来霉素(ABthrax)是一种针对炭疽芽孢杆菌保护性抗原的人源 IgG1 单克隆抗体。HGS 目前正在向美国政府提供该药物的库存,用于预防和治疗吸入性炭疽病。截至 2009 年 5 月,该候选药物正在接受美国食品和药物管理局的审查。自 2001 年 9 月炭疽袭击事件以来,生物恐怖主义对策的可用性变得更加重要,而里来霉素的开发是这一领域的重大进展。
