Recombinant Human Anti-TGF-beta Monoclonal Antibody

Definition 1

A recombinant human IgG4 monoclonal antibody directed against transforming growth factor-beta (TGFb) with potential antineoplastic activity. Recombinant human anti-TGF-beta monoclonal antibody specifically targets and binds to all 3 isoforms of TGFb, thereby neutralizing TGFb isoforms 1, 2 and 3. This prevents activation of TGFb-mediated signaling pathways. TGFb, a pleiotropic cytokine, is often overexpressed in a number of cancer cell types and is involved in cancer cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, invasion and angiogenesis. (NCI Thesaurus)

Definition 2

A monoclonal antibody being studied in the treatment of kidney cancer, melanoma, and pulmonary fibrosis. Monoclonal antibodies are made in the laboratory and can locate and bind to substances in the body, including cancer cells. GC1008 binds to the protein transforming growth factor-beta (TGF?) and may block the growth of cancer cells that make it. (NCI Dictionary)
