Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation causing swelling in the joints. IL17/TNF-α bispecific antibodies are antibodies that can bind to two different types of epitopes and work on two different types of
receptors. IL-17/TNF-α bispecific antibodies have anti-inflammatory effects that act by blocking the inflammatory pathways of
rheumatoid arthritis. Thus, bispecific antibodies have the potential to be the latest effective therapy against rheumatoid arthritis.
