How ILUMYA Works

Tildrakizumab-asmn functions as a humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to the p19 subunit of interleukin-23 (IL-23). By binding to this subunit, the drug prevents IL-23 from interacting with its specific receptor. This inhibition blocks the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines that are involved in inflammatory and immune responses.
