Pharmacology

Adalimumab is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to TNF-alpha, blocking its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors and inhibiting TNF-mediated inflammatory and immune responses, including modulation of adhesion molecules responsible for leukocyte migration.

Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties that suppresses inflammatory processes (edema, capillary dilatation, leukocyte migration), modifies immune responses, and produces metabolic effects including promotion of gluconeogenesis, protein catabolism, and altered calcium and electrolyte balance.
