Description Belimumab is a fully human recombinant IgG1λ monoclonal antibody that inhibits soluble human B lymphocyte stimulator protein (BLyS, also referred to as BAFF and TNFSF13B), a B cell survival factor.[L42630] BLyS levels are often elevated in immunodeficient and autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).[A251495, L42705] By binding to BLyS and blocking its interaction with B cell receptors, belimumab inhibits the survival of B cells. It is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a murine cell (NS0) expression system.[L42630] Belimumab was first approved by the FDA on March 9, 2011,[A251495] making it the newest drug to be approved for the treatment of SLE in more than 50 years.[A251520] It is currently used to treat SLE and lupus nephritis.[L42630]
