Antibody-drug conjugate · Cytotoxic, directed at CD22
Epratuzumab-cys-tesirine is an antibody-drug conjugate composed of a humanized anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody conjugated to tesirine, a cathepsin B-cleavable pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer. The antibody binds CD22 on B cells and is internalized; upon cleavage, tesirine induces DNA interstrand cross-links and inhibits DNA replication. It is studied in CD22-positive B-cell malignancies including acute lymphoblastic leukemia and Burkitt lymphoma.
