monoclonal antibody treating autoimmune diseases by targeting interleukins
Ustekinumab, marketed as Stelara, is a monoclonal antibody used to treat autoimmune conditions such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and Crohn's disease. It works by targeting specific proteins in the immune system (interleukin-12 and interleukin-23) to reduce inflammation and abnormal immune responses.
