Natalizumab is an anti-integrin monoclonal antibody. However, it has been associated with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, a usually fatal viral infection of the brain, that may limit its use.
There have been concerns about the side effects of monoclonal antibodies, and specifically of infliximab, but these are rare. Early side effects include the risk of allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis which may be life-threatening), and reactions to the infusion. These are often treated with medications given before treatment. Infliximab also carries a risk of worsening infection, and can cause reactivation of old infections, like tuberculosis. Over time, there is the risk of serum sickness, which is a delayed hypersensitivity response to the medication. Later complications may include multiple sclerosis and lymphoma.

Finally, the medication is quite expensive, with treatment costs ranging from US$3000 to $8000 per infusion.
Le rituximab (commercialisé sous les noms Rituxan et MabThera) est un anticorps monoclonal chimérique dirigé contre la molécule de surface CD20 (présente sur la plupart des cellules B). Il permet de diminuer de façon substantielle le nombre de lymphocytes B par un effet toxique direct sur ces cellules[1].
