July 2009 in “Cancer Research” In this mouse study, the researchers found that the monoclonal antibody ME1 causes hair follicle inflammation by up-regulating TNFα, which can be reduced by TNFα and interleukin-1 inhibitors.
This study found that neutrophil-rich hair follicle inflammation caused by a monoclonal antibody targeting murine EGFR in mice involved TNFα and interleukin-1, suggesting these cytokines play a role in EGFR antibody-induced rashes in cancer patients.
This study in mice found that a monoclonal antibody targeting EGFR resulted in skin inflammation mediated by TNFα, suggesting potential pathways for addressing EGFR antibody-induced skin rash in cancer patients.
