 About CM310 

CM310 recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody injection is an innovative humanized monoclonal antibody self-developed by Keymed Biosciences (Chengdu) Co., Ltd., targeting human IL-4 receptor alpha subunit (IL-4Rα). CM310 can selectively combine with IL-4Rα to block out the combination of IL-4Rα and IL-4 as well as IL-13, thus suppressing its bioactivity.
