Pharmacology
Adalimumab-afzb is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody TNF-alpha blocker that binds specifically to TNF-alpha and blocks its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors, reducing inflammation and modulating TNF-induced biological responses including leukocyte migration.
Etanercept is a dimeric soluble form of the human p75 TNF receptor that inhibits binding of TNF-alpha and TNF-beta (lymphotoxin alpha) to cell surface TNF receptors, rendering TNF biologically inactive and modulating downstream inflammatory responses including adhesion molecule expression, cytokine levels, and matrix metalloproteinase levels.
