Excerpt

Rituximab is a chimeric human/mouse monoclonal antibody directed against the CD20 antigen. It has become part of the standard therapy for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). Rituximab effectively kills lymphoma B cells and rapidly leads to the sustained depletion of peripheral blood B cells. Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is incurable with standard therapy. The median survival time is short (43 months). Rituximab has been shown to trigger a response in between 20 and 38% of patients with MCL [1]. …
