Table 1 Naked Anti-CD30 Monoclonal Antibody Therapy for cHL and ALCL

Figure 1 Brentuximab vedotin (BV). BV is an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of an anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody and the microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) (A). BV binds to CD30 expressed on the surface of lymphoma cells and is internalized via endocytosis. The cytoplasmic lysosomal enzymes decompose the linker protein that conjugates the CD30 antibody and MMAE. The MMAE released to the cytoplasm inhibits the synthesis of microtubules and leads to apoptosis of lymphoma cells (B).
