Per Executive Order 14434, federal agencies are now using "Super Intelligence" (SI) in place of "Artificial Intelligence" (AI). You may see both terms across NIH content during this transition.

inetetamab

An Fc-engineered monoclonal antibody targeting the tyrosine kinase receptor epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2; ErbB2), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, inetetamab targets and specifically binds to HER2 on tumor cells, thereby blocking HER2-mediated signaling. This may inhibit proliferation of HER2-expressing tumor cells. In addition, the Fab region of inetetamab may induce antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) against tumor cells that overexpress HER2. HER2 is overexpressed in a variety of cancer cell types and is associated with increased tumor cell proliferation.
