📋Overview
Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that targets a specific protein found on the surface of certain immune cells called B cells. It is commonly associated with conditions involving abnormal B cell activity, such as some types of lymphomas and leukemias. Rituximab is also used in various autoimmune disorders where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. Its use reflects its ability to modify immune system function by reducing the number of B cells.
