MDX-010
Anticuerpo monoclonal en estudio para el tratamiento de cáncer que se ha diseminado o que no responde a otros tratamientos. El MDX-010 se produce en el laboratorio y se une a la molécula CTLA-4 de las células T (tipo de célula del sistema inmunitario). MDX-010 puede bloquear la CTLA-4 y ayudar al sistema inmunitario a destruir las células cancerosas. También se llama ipilimumab.
