Anti-IL-6 chimeric monoclonal antibody
- Anti-IL-6 chimeric monoclonal antibody
Anti-IL-6 chimeric monoclonal antibody is a chimeric (made from human and mouse proteins) monoclonal antibody being studied in the treatment of advanced kidney cancer and other types of cancer. Monoclonal antibodies are made in the laboratory and can locate and bind to substances in the body, including cancer cells. Anti-IL-6 chimeric monoclonal antibody works by blocking inflammation and tumor growth. Also called CNTO 328 and cCLB8.
