Facts on Rituximab
Rituximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody that attacks the B cells. The B cells are a form of leucocytes.
Rituximab is used in the treatment of many lymphomas, leukemias and some autoimmune disorders.
Rituximab destroys both normal and malignant B cells that have CD20 on their surfaces, and therefore used to treat diseases which are characterized by having too many B cells, overactive B cells or dysfunctional B cells.
