How it works

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

Abatacept, a selective costimulation modulator, inhibits T-cell (T lymphocyte) activation by binding to CD80 and CD86, thereby blocking interaction with CD28.

This interaction provides a costimulatory signal necessary for full activation of T lymphocytes.
