What is Simulect?
Simulect (basiliximab) is a monoclonal antibody used as an immunosuppressant to prevent organ rejection in patients undergoing kidney transplantation. It specifically targets the IL-2 receptor on activated T-cells, blocking the IL-2 mediated activation of lymphocytes, which is a critical pathway in the immune response contributing to organ rejection.
