  • Method of Action 

The active substance in Blincyto is Blinatumomab, an antibody designed to attach to a protein (CD19) found on B cells, including ALL cells because it is a bispecific CD19-directed CD3 T-cell. It also attaches to a protein (CD3) in T cells. The drug is produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Attaching to CD3, therefore, acts as a ‘bridge’ that brings T cells and B cells together and causes the T cells to release substances that eventually kill the cancerous B cells.
