  • Targeted mechanism of action may help minimize side effects and avoid unwanted effects on immune function1

  • Does not burden the liver or kidneys

    • CYTOPOINT functions like naturally occurring antibodies and is eliminated via normal protein degradation pathways in the same way, which does not involve the liver or kidneys
