Inebilizumab is a monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to CD19, a cell surface antigen present on pre-B and mature B-cell lymphocytes, including plasmablasts and some plasma cells. Following cell surface binding to B lymphocytes, inebilizumab supports antibody-dependent cellular cytolysis (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP). B cells are believed to play a central role in the pathogenesis of NMOSD. The precise mechanism by which inebilizumab exerts its therapeutic effects in NMOSD is unknown.
