Antibody Comments
Evidence of the effectiveness of gemtuzumab ozogamicin centers on the drug's ability to inhibit the growth of leukemic cells in vitro and in vivo [3,6-7].
Immunopharmacology Comments
CD33 (SIGLEC3) is a myeloid cell I-type (Ig-type) lectin that binds glycans containing sialic acids [4]. Most SIGLECs inhibit immune cell activation, via immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory (ITIM) motifs in their cytosolic domains. Hence, blockade of SIGLEC interactions restores immune cell activation, which is of interest for the treatment of myeloid leukemias. As such, CD33 is the target of approved monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate gemtuzumab ozogamicin (for CD33-positive acute myeloid leukemia) and investigational mAb lintuzumab which was a clinical candidate biologic for refractory or relapsed acute myelogenous leukemia.
