摘要
Adalimumab (Humira; Abbott), an antibody that binds specifically to the inflammatory cytokine TNF-α, was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis in December 2002. Does the launch of adalimumab, which is the first fully human antibody to be approved as a therapeutic, sound the death knoll for chimeric and humanized antibodies?
