Milatuzumab Definition
A humanized monoclonal antibody directed against CD74 with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Milatuzumab binds to and inhibits the activity of the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) CD74, which may result in the death of CD74-expressing tumor cells. CD74, a TAA which may be overexpressed by myeloma and malignant B cells, may promote survival in rapidly proliferating tumor cells.
