Chimeric antibody ReoPro

Chimeric Antibodies The first generation is the chimeric antibodies (chimeric comes from the word Chimera, a Greek mythology beast made of three animals a lion, a snake, and a goat). This type of antibody consists of both murine and human parts. The murine Fv fragments are retained and linked to the Fc fragment of human IgG. An example of the chimeric antibody is ReoPro, which prevents blood clots by binding to a receptor on platelets.
