Descriptor anticuerpos monoclonales humanizados
Entry term(s) anticuerpos humanizados
Scope note: Anticuerpos de las especies no humanas cuyas secuencias de proteínas se han modificado para hacerlas casi idénticas a los anticuerpos humanos. Si la región constante y parte de la región variable se sustituyen son llamadas humanizadas. Si solo se modifica la región constante son llamadas quiméricas. Las denominaciones DCI (Denominación Común Internacional) para los anticuerpos humanizados finalizan en -zumab.

Scope note: Antibodies from non-human species whose protein sequences have been modified to make them nearly identical with human antibodies. If the constant region and part of the variable region are replaced, they are called humanized. If only the constant region is modified they are called chimeric. INN names for humanized antibodies end in -zumab.
