- 11. I am the first therapeutic antibody developed using phage display technology
- 12. I am sometimes functionally confused with the anti-CTLA-4 blocking antibody ipilimumab
Down
- 1. My use in Crohn’s Disease worsened the outcome for many patients
- 2. I can be used to stop lymphocytes moving around in the treatment of Crohn’s disease
- 3. I was dangerously close to being ‘shelved’ for my role in reactivating the deadly John Cunningham virus
