BTI-322

BTI-322 is a rat monoclonal IgG2b directed against the CD2 antigen on T cells and NK cells. BTI-322 can block primary and memory alloantigen proliferative responses in vitro. BTI-322 recognizes over 90% of E-rosette-forming peripheral blood lymphocytes and T-cell leukemias. BTI-322 has immunosuppressive activity. BTI-322 effectively inhibits T cell responses in vitro to allogeneic cells. BTI-322 can be used as a T-cell deplting agent. BTI-322 can be studied in research for renal allograft rejection and steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease[1][2].
