Adalimumab (Humira) is a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody specific for human tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Humira consists of heavy and light chain variable regions and human IgG1 k constant regions. Adalimumab is produced by recombinant DNA technology in chinese hamster ovary cells expression system. It is formulated as injection for subcutaneous route of administration.

Mechanism of Action

Humira (adalimumab) is a fully human anti-TNF-alpha monoclonal antibody that neutralizes the activity of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), a type of cytokine that plays a central role in inflammatory reactions in patients with autoimmune diseases. Adalimumab binds specifically to TNF-alpha and blocks its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors. TNF is a naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in normal inflammatory and immune responses. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha is one of the most important cytokines. It plays a critical role in the cascade of inflammatory reactions. Adalimumab modulates the biological responses that are induced or regulated by TNF, including changes in the levels of adhesion molecules responsible for leukocyte migration. Adalimumab has efficacy to inhibit the tumor necrosis factor indications like rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis and plaque psoriasis.
