Mab-Campath

Mab-Campath Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Humanized monoclonal antibody specific to lymphocyte antigens. It is a recombinant DNA-derived humanized monoclonal antibody (Campath-1H) that is directed against the 21-28 kD cell surface glycoprotein,CD52. The Campath-1H antibody is an IgG1 kappa with human variable framework and constant regions, and complementarity-determining regions from a murine (rat) monoclonal antibody (Campath-1G). Campath is produced in mammalian cell (Chinese hamster ovary) suspension culture in a medium containing neomycin.

Campath is used to treat leukemia by exploiting antibody mediated lysis of CD52 presenting cells. The CD52 antigen is a cell surface protein found on essentially all B and T lymphocytes, a majority of monocytes, macrophages and most granulocytes. The CD52 antigen is not present on erythrocytes or hematopoetic stem cells. In leukemia there is an excess of B and T cells, so Campath permits selective reduction of lymphocyte populations.

Uses

Mab-Campath is a monoclonal anti-CD52 antibody used in the treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis.

Mab-Campath (Campath) is a monoclonal antibody therapy used for treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Mab-Campath is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD), Kidney Transplant Rejection, Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS), T-Cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia, Conditioning regimens for allogeneic stem cell transplantation therapy

How Mab-Campath works

Campath binds to the CD52 antigen present on most B and T lymphocytes. This binding leads to antibody-dependent lysis of leukemic cells.
