Nimotuzumab
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Nimotuzumab is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting EGFR with a KD of 0.21 nM. Nimotuzumab is directed against the extracellular domain of the EGFR blocking the binding to its ligands. Nimotuzumab, a strong antitumor agent, is cytolytic on target tumors by its capacity to cause antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).

Biological Activity
Human IgG1 kappa
Human
ERBB1/EGFR/HER1
Nimotuzumab (10 μg/mL; 24 hours) induces significant downregulation of CD16 on NK cells[1].
Nimotuzumab (10 μg/mL; 48 hours) induces the upregulation of PD-L1 molecule on DCs when co-cultured with the NK: DC: HNSCC cells[1].
The intrinsic properties of Nimotuzumab requires bivalent binding (i.e., binding with both antibody arms to two targets simultaneously) for stable attachment to cellular surface, which leads to Nimotuzumab selectively binding to cells that express moderate to high EGFR levels[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
