General information

Class/mechanism: glycolipid GD2 recombinant humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody. Naxitamab-gqgk binds to the glycolipid GD2, which is overexpressed on neuroblastoma cells and other cells of neuroectodermal origin, including the central nervous system and peripheral nerves. In vitro, binding resulted in complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).[1][2][3]
