Three TNF antagonists are currently approved for the treatment of RA etaner-cept (ETN), infliximab (INF), and adalimumab. ETN a fusion protein of two identical chains of the recombinant human TNF receptor, p75, fused with the Fc portion of human immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 binds to soluble TNF-a in vivo. INF and adalimumab are both monoclonal antibodies to TNF-a INF is chimeric, and adalimumab is fully humanized. Both bind to soluble TNF-a, preventing TNF-a from binding to its receptors on cell surfaces. INF can also bind transmembrane TNF-a, fix complement, and cause cell lysis.

Therapeutic proteins are normally made in the human body under certain conditions, and synthetic versions of these proteins that are made in labs can be used as medicine. For example, human cells make a protein called interferon in response to viral infections, but synthetic interferon can also be used to treat multiple sclerosis. Two synthetic forms of interferon-1 (3, Rebif, which is made in CHO cells by EMD Serono, and Avonex, also made in CHO cells by Biogen Idee, serve as treatments for multiple sclerosis. Alefacept (brand name Amevive), which is made by AsteUas Pharma, is a fusion protein that blocks the growth of specific T cells (immune cells). No such protein exists in the human body, but alefa-cept is used to treat psoriasis and various cancers. 

Fig. 190. Structure type CePt jjGuj 5 as the result of deformation with partial atomic ordering in the BaAl., structure type. The unit-cell connection is shown on the right-hand side (the BaAl4 unit cell is shown by the thin lines, and the CePt gGa, 5 by the heavy ones). Note that on this, and the other figures the R atoms are shown as the largest circles, M as the smallest, and X as the medium ones.
