Nihar Desai: How we name monoclonal antibodies?
Nihar Desai, Consultant Hemato-Oncologist at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, shared on X/Twitter:
“Hey NEET PG aspirants! Bookmark this.
How do we name monoclonal antibodies?
-mab = monoclonal antibody
-mo-mab = mouse mab
-xi-mab = chimeric mab
-mu-mab = human mab
-zu-mab = humanized mab
Example: Ri-tu-xi-mab
-Tu = tumour directed (everything in oncology will have -tu)
-xi = chimeric
-mab = mab 🤷🏻
Rituximab is a tumour directed, chimeric, monoclonal antibody.”
