Background
Ipilimumab is a fully human IgG1 kappa antibody that binds to CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen 4), a molecule on T cells that is indicated for unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The absence or presence of CTLA-4 can augment or suppress the immune system's T-cell response in fighting disease. Ipilimumab is designed to block the activity of CTLA-4, thereby sustaining an active immune response in its attack on cancer cells. The proposed mechanism of action is indirect, and may be through T-cell - mediated anti-tumor immune responses.
