How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Rituxan). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that targets the CD20 antigen expressed on the surface of pre-B and mature B-lymphocytes.

Upon binding to CD20, rituximab mediates B-cell lysis.
