What is Rituximab about?

Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody to the CD20 antigen of B lymphocytes, primarily used in the therapy of haemato-oncologic diseases. Its effect is depletion of B lymphocytes and so it is also used in the therapy of autoimmune diseases, including bullous dermatoses, especially pemphigus. Its early administration in pemphigus has been shown to significantly shorten the time to remission and reduce the total dose of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants administered.
