Bavituximab is a monoclonal antibody biosimilar expressed in CHO cells, targeting Phosphatidylserine, for use in laboratory research applications. This product is not suitable for use as medicines or in human, therapeutic or diagnostic applications. Bavituximab is a chimeric Anti-PS monoclonal antibody analog which is used to potentially treat cancers and viral infections. It binds to phosphatidylserine and other exposed host cell lipids when induced by cellular stress. Additional analogs in the class include 3G4, 2aG4, 9d2 and Hu3g4. Bavituximab Anti-Cancer is a monoclonal antibody that binds to a basic component of the cell structure called a phospholipid that is exposed only on the surface of tumor blood vessel cells or on cells infected with certain viruses. Bavituximab binding to the tumor blood vessel cells alerts the body’s immune system to attack the tumor and its blood supply. This has been shown to inhibit tumor growth and development. Because in healthy cells the phospholipids are concealed inside the cell, the bavituximab does not bind to them. This targets the bavituximab to the malignant cells and potentially minimizes unwanted side effects.
