Riassunto
Ustekinumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody, generated via molecular engineering from transgenic mice, genetically modified so they cannot produce murine antibodies, but only human antibodies. Ustekinumab binds in a selective manner to the p40 subunit which contributes to the structure of both IL-12 (p35/p40) and IL-23 (p19/p40), which play a key role in the pathogenesis of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs).
