Pharmacology

Mechanism of Action

Monoclonal antibody that targets interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2), a cytokine that contributes to the development and proliferation of some WBCs including T-cells responsible for aGvHD

By linking specifically to the alpha-chain of the CD25 receptor, inolimomab prevents IL-2 from binding on the surface of the donor’s over-active T-cells which blocks their multiplication
