-
A monoclonal antibody against beta-amyloid (Abeta40/42) used in the treatment of Alzheimer\'s disease. Gantenerumab targets and binds to beta amyloid then is removed through effector cell-mediated clearance. This reduces the level of beta amyloid in the brain. In Alzheimer\'s disease, beta amyloid accumulates in the brain and is a key component in plaque formation.
