Abstract

Daclizumab (Zenapax®, Roche) is a humanized murine monoclonal IgG1k antibody specifically binding to the high affinity interleukin-2 (IL-2R) expressed on human lymphocytes. At the end of 2009 its production was discontinued and the supply was announced to last up to 2011. However, some trials are exploring new indications, and long-term observations are still collecting data, which are relevant for safety evaluation of chronic exposures to this class of biomedicines.
