Figure 1
Schematic representation of the putative mechanisms mediating rituximab’s anticancer activity in NHL cells. The anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab has several mechanisms of action, including antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), which involves recruitment of effector cells, mediated by Fcγ receptors; complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC); apoptosis induction.
