Mechanism of action
Infliximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody that targets tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a cytokine involved in systemic inflammation. By binding to TNF-alpha, infliximab prevents the interaction between TNF-alpha and its receptors on the surface of immune cells, thereby inhibiting the inflammatory response. This mechanism of action is thought to contribute to the therapeutic effects of infliximab in treating various inflammatory conditions.
