-
A humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the cytokine interleukin-9 (IL-9), with potential immunomodulating activity. Upon administration, enokizumab binds to and blocks the activity of IL-9, thereby preventing IL-9-mediated effects. IL-9, a T-helper cell type 2-derived cytokine, is involved in airway inflammation and hyperrreactivity.
