Pharmacology
Adalimumab-atto is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to TNF-alpha and blocks its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors, inhibiting TNF-mediated inflammatory and immune responses; it also lyses surface TNF-expressing cells in vitro in the presence of complement and modulates downstream biological responses including adhesion molecule expression (ELAM-1, VCAM-1, ICAM-1).
Brodalumab is a human monoclonal IgG2 antibody that selectively binds to IL-17RA and inhibits its interactions with IL-17 family cytokines (IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-17C, IL-17A/F heterodimer, IL-25), thereby blocking IL-17 cytokine-induced pro-inflammatory responses.
