Epratuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody. Potential uses may be found in oncology and in treatment of inflammatory autoimmune disorders, such as lupus (SLE).^[1]^[2] The manufacturers in August 2009 announced success in early trials against SLE.^[3]

Mechanism

Epratuzumab binds to the glycoprotein CD22 of mature and malignant B-cells, which it destroys by antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity.^[4]
