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.
TNF-alpha inhibitor; chimeric IgG1kappa monoclonal antibody that neutralizes TNFalpha by binding with high affinity to the soluble and transmembrane forms of TNFalpha, inhibiting binding of TNFalpha with its receptors.
