Related QuestionsWhat should I do if I develop Neutralizing Antibodies?
avonexYour doctor is the best person to make recommendations about what to do if you develop neutralizing antibodies to a medication. Every person responds differently to medications and it is important for you to speak with your doctor about your unique case.
Related QuestionsWhy do Neutralizing Antibodies develop?
avonexAs part of the immune system, our body is able to distinguish between what is made internally and what is introduced, such as viruses or medication. In the case of medication molecules there is a potential for the body to recognize the medication molecule as a foreign rather than something that is made by your body. Whether or not you develop neutralizing antibodies to the medication is dependent upon your body and the molecule you are taking.
Related QuestionsShould I remain on therapy if I develop neutralizing antibodies to interferons?
avonexThere is no consensus of the action to take with patients who develop neutralizing antibodies to beta interferons.

Related QuestionsIs there a potential to develop neutralizing antibodies to an MS therapy?
avonexNeutralizing antibodies are most commonly associated with medications that are made from proteins. Interferons are made from proteins. As such, you could develop neutralizing antibodies to Interferons. Factors that can impact the possibility of developing neutralizing antibodies are your own body, how the medication is administered, the amount of the dose, and how often you must take the medication.
Related QuestionsWhat are neutralizing antibodies?
avonexThe body's immune system can develop an immune response to foreign substances such as viruses, bacteria, and an injected medication. This results in the production of antibodies whose only job is to label a specific foreign substance for destruction by the immune system. Sometimes man-made interferon beta is recognized as a foreign substance. If this happens, antibodies can latch onto the interferon key and not allow it to fit into the receptor.

About Kepivance®: Frequently Asked Questionswith all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The clinical significance of antibodies to Kepivance® is unknown but may include lessened activity and/or cross reactivity with other members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of growth factors.1 A sensitive electrochemiluminescence-based binding assay was performed on post-treatment sera from 645 patients treated with Kepivance® in clinical studies.
Related QuestionsWhat are antibodies? What are neutralizing antibodies?
avonexAntibodies are molecules that the body can make as part of its normal defense (the immune system) against foreign bodies, such as viruses. For example, when a person is infected with the flu, their body makes antibodies against the flu virus (this takes a few days) and eventually these antibodies help to defeat the virus. When a person gets vaccinated against flu, the doctor is simply injecting an inactive form of the flu virus.
Related QuestionsWhat are the effects of Neutralizing Antibodies?
avonexNeutralizing antibodies are a type of antibody that 'neutralizes' the activity of a foreign molecule that the body thinks is foreign. Therefore, if your body makes neutralizing antibodies against a molecule you are taking, the neutralizing antibody may prevent the medication molecule from reaching its target. With some drugs, neutralizing activity reduces the therapeutic effect. The clinical significance of neutralizing antibodies to interferons in MS is unknown.
Related QuestionsHow will I know if I have developed Neutralizing Antibodies?
