Raptiva
Anticuerpo monoclonal que se usa para tratar la psoriasis (una enfermedad crónica de la piel). Asimismo, está en estudio para el tratamiento de la enfermedad de injerto contra huésped (EICH) de la piel después del trasplante de células madre de un donante. Raptiva se une a una molécula llamada LFA-1, y bloquea la acción de las células T (tipo de glóbulos blancos). Es un tipo de inmunodepresor. También se llama efalizumab.
