Brentuximab vedotin targets:

CD30 antigen also designated TNFRSF8, 120 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein member tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily characterized by cysteine rich domains extracellularly and TRAF binding motifs intracellularly activating NF-kB, transiently expressed on activated B and T lymphocytes but constitutively highly expressed on Reed-Sternberg giant cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma ALCL, and small subset cutaneous T cell lymphomas, making near tumor specific target with minimal normal tissue expression limited to activated immune cells conferring fav
