HER2 pathway is specific for cell proliferation, joining of Transtuzumab to the site of HER2 causes prevention of this activity.
This joining leads to antibody mediated and leads to HER2 positive cells break down.
Hermab 150mg injection is a intermediary of anti-body dependent cellular cytotoxicity.
