Antibody Comments
Ofatumumab, rituximab, tositumomab and ibritumomab tiuxetan are monoclonal antibodies against the CD20 molecule (MS4A1). These references contain some details of their use and function:- [3,8,11,15,17].
Although the KD value for ofatumumab is derived from [10], the originating patent is US8529902 [14].
A trifunctional monoclonal (Triomab®) called FBTA05, that targets CD20/CD3e was progressed to Phase 1/2 evaluation (NCT01138579), but recruitment was delayed and the trial terminated when FBTA05 became unavailable. See the entry for catumaxomab for full details of Triomab® mechanism of action.
Immunopharmacology Comments
CD20 is a B cell antigen, involved in B cell development and maturation to antibody-producing plasma cells [4]. CD20 has no known ligand and is suggested to act as a calcium channel. CD20 is the target of monoclonal antibodies approved for the treatment of B cell lymphomas and leukemias (rituximab, obinutuzumab, Ibritumomab tiuxetan, ofatumumab and tositumomab). In obese mice, anti-CD20 antibodies prevent insulin insensitivity and development of diabetes mellitus or metabolic syndrome [16], suggesting a potentially druggable autoimmune link between obesity, diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome.

Disease:  Common variable immunodeficiency
Description: CVID is a group of genetically heterogeneous primary immunodeficiencies. Whilst a small number of cases can be linked to deficiency in a single gene (see the OMIM links as examples), the cause is likely to be polygenic in the majority of cases. Symptoms vary between patients, but CVID is generally characterised by a failure to produce antibodies (hypogammaglobulinemia) and therefore susceptibility to recurrent infections and inflammation (including autoimmunity).
