Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a proinflammatory cytokine implicated in pathogenesis of multiple autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Anti-TNF therapy has revolutionized the therapeutic paradigms of autoimmune diseases and became one of the most successful examples of the clinical use of monoclonal antibodies. Currently, anti-TNF therapy is used by millions of patients worldwide. At the moment, fully human anti-TNF antibody Adalimumab is the best-selling anti-cytokine drug in the world. Here, we present a story about a highly potent anti-TNF monoclonal antibody initially characterized more than 20 years ago and further developed into chimeric and humanized versions. We present comparative analysis of this antibody with Infliximab and Adalimumab.
肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)是一种促炎细胞因子,与多种自身免疫性疾病和炎症性疾病的发病机制有关。抗TNF治疗彻底改变了自身免疫性疾病的治疗模式,成为单克隆抗体临床应用最成功的范例之一。目前,全球数百万患者正在使用抗TNF治疗。目前,全人源抗TNF抗体阿达木单抗是全球最畅销的抗细胞因子药物。在此,我们讲述一个关于一种高效抗TNF单克隆抗体的故事,该抗体最初在20多年前被鉴定出来,并进一步发展为嵌合型和人源化版本。我们对该抗体与英夫利昔单抗和阿达木单抗进行了比较分析。
