Uses
Anthim is a monoclonal antibody used for prophylaxis or treatment of inhalational anthrax.

Anthim is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Inhaled anthrax caused by Bacillus anthracis
How Anthim works
ETI-204 is an affinity-enhanced, de-immunized antibody, which means that its ability to bind to its target pathogen has been strengthened and that elements that might cause an immune response have been removed. ETI-204 targets and binds to Protective Antigen, which prevents the anthrax toxins from binding to and entering the cells in the body, thereby preventing death.
