Gavilimomab (also known as ABX-CBL) is a mouse monoclonal antibody intended for use as an immunosuppressive biologic treatment of glucocorticoid-resistant graft versus host disease. It binds to the antigen CD147.[1] Gavilimomab proved slightly less effective than standard antithymocyte globulin therapy.[2]
It was originally developed by Abgenix,[1] which was later acquired by Amgen.
