Enavatuzumab (PDL192) is a Humanized IgG1 Monoclonal Antibody Targeting TWEAK

Antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) is a cell-mediated immune defense mechanism. The effector cells of the immune system actively cleave target cells, and their membrane surface antigens are bound by specific antibodies. Besides, it is one of the mechanisms by which antibodies, as part of the humoral immune response, can limit...

Tirabrutinib is a Selective BTK Inhibitor

The BTK kinases comprise 5 structural domains, including pleckstrin homology, TEC homology, Src homology, Src homology, and kinase domains. The activation of BTK kinase depends on recruitment to the plasma membrane via the pleckstrin homology domain. In humans, BTK mutations result in arrested B-cell development. Besides, it leads to...
