DescriptionMurine monoclonal antibody specific to CD3 T-cell lymphocyte antigens. More specifically it is a purified murine (mouse) monoclonal antibody, directed against the CD3 (T3) receptor on the surface of human T-cells (T-lymphocytes) cultured using the murine ascites method. Muromonab is 93% monomeric immune globulin G type 2a (IgG2a).
Indication/DiseaseFor treatment of organ transplant recipients, prevention of organ rejection
PharmacodynamicsUsed in organ transplant prophylaxis, Muromonab or OKT-3 binds specifically to the CD-3 complex, which is involved in antigen recognition and cell stimulation, on the surface of T lymphocytes. Immediately after administration CD-3-positive T lymphocytes are abruptly removed from circulation. It has been effective in reversing corticosteroid-resistant acute rejection in renal, liver, and cardiac transplant recipients.
Mechanism of ActionMuromonab binds to the T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 epsilon chain. It appears to kill CD-3 positive cells by inducing Fc mediated apoptosis, antibody mediated cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity.

Brand NameORTHOCLONE OKT3 STERILE SOLUTION
CompanyCentocor Ortho Biotech, L.P.
Brand DiscriptionThe antibody is a biochemically purified IgG2a immunoglobulin with a heavy chain of approximately 50,000 daltons and a light chain of approximately 25,000 daltons. It is directed to a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 20,000 in the human T cell surface which is essential for T cell functions. Because it is a monoclonal antibody preparation, ORTHOCLONE OKT3 Sterile Solution is a homogeneous, reproducible antibody product with consistent, measurable reactivity to human T cells.
Prescribed forORTHOCLONE OKT3 is indicated for the treatment of acute allograft rejection in renal transplant patients. ORTHOCLONE OKT3 is indicated for the treatment of steroid-resistant acute allograft rejection in cardiac and hepatic transplant patients.
Chemical NameN.A.
FormulationEach 5 mL ampule of ORTHOCLONE OKT3 Sterile Solution contains 5 mg (1 mg/mL) of muromonab-CD3 in a clear colorless solution which may contain a few fine translucent protein particles. Each ampule contains a buffered solution (pH 7.0 ± 0.5) of monobasic sodium phosphate (2.25 mg), dibasic sodium phosphate (9.0 mg), sodium chloride (43 mg), and polysorbate 80 (1.0 mg) in water for injection.
Physcial AppearnceORTHOCLONE OKT3 (muromonab-CD3)sterile solution is a murine monoclonal antibody to the CD3 antigen of human T cells which functions as an immunosuppressant.
Route of AdministrationFor Intravenous Use Only
Recommended DosageThe recommended dose of ORTHOCLONE OKT3 for the treatment of acute renal, steroid-resistant cardiac, or steroid-resistant hepatic allograft rejection is 5 mg per day in a single (bolus) Intravenous infusion in less than one minute for 10 to 14 days. 
Contraindicationnot given to patient which are hypersensitive to this or any other product of murine origin, have anti-mouse antibody titers ≥1:1000; are in (uncompensated) heart failure or in fluid overload, as evidenced by chest X-ray or a greater than 3 percent weight gain within the week prior to planned ORTHOCLONE OKT3 administration; have uncontrolled hypertension; have a history of seizures, or are predisposed to seizures.
Side EffectsRTHOCLONE OKT3 therapy includes adverse effects: Dyspnea(21%), nausea(19%), vomiting (19%), chest pain (14%), diarrhea (14%), tremor (13%), wheezing (13%), headache (11%), tachycardia (10%), rigor (8%), and hypertension (8%), Angina, Cardiac Arrest, Fluctuation in Blood Pressure, Heart Failure, Myocardial Infarction, Shock, Thrombosis, Coma, Encephalopathy, Epilepsy, Hypotonia, Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage, Coagulation Disorder, Lymphadenopathy, Lymphopenia, Anuria, Oliguria, Apnea, Pneumonitis, Conjunctivitis, Hearing Decreases.
