(TNFα), which is involved in the
immune (defence) system and is present at increased levels in the
inflammatory diseases listed above. By
attaching to TNFα, Humira decreases the process of inflammation in
these diseases.

Humira (adalimumab) is a recombinant human immunoglobulin (IgG1)
monoclonal antibody containing only human peptide
sequences. Humira was created using phage display technology resulting
in fully human heavy and light chain variable regions,
which confer specificity to human tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and
human IgG1 heavy chain and kappa light chain sequences.
Humira binds with high affinity and specificity to soluble tumor
necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) but not lymphotoxin (TNF-beta).
Adalimumab is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a mammalian
cell expression system. It consists of 1330 amino
acids and has a molecular weight of approximately 148 kilodaltons.
Humira is supplied as a sterile, preservative-free solution of
adalimumab for subcutaneous administration. The solution of
Humira is clear and colorless, with a pH of 5.2. The drug product is
supplied as either a single-use 1 mL pre-filled glass syringe,
1 mL single-use glass vial or as a single-use pre-filled Pen (Humira
Pen). Enclosed within the Pen is a single-use, 1 mL pre-
filled glass syringe.
