Ibritumomab tiuxetan (⁹⁰Y)
UNII 4Q52C550XK - IBRITUMOMAB TIUXETAN
 

Ibritumomab tiuxetan (⁹⁰Y) is a recombinant murine IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody specific for the B-cell antigen CD20. Ibritumomab tiuxetan targets the antigen CD20 which is located on the surface of malignant and normal B-lymphocytes. During B-cell maturation, CD20 is first expressed in the midstage of B-lymphoblast (pre-B-cell), and is lost during the final stage of B-cell maturation to plasma cells. It is not shed from the cell surface and does not internalise on antibody binding.
