I take middle class to mean: - You own a home, can afford mortgage, insurance, taxes and upkeep - You can afford to raise a family (a middle class that does not reproduce it self is not sustainable. We should not have to live like monks.) - You can afford to send your kids to college (ok, maybe a state school, but still send to college)
Another monoclonal protein to be approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is Rituxan. Like Remicade, it is a chimeric mouse/human monoclonal antibody that is given by intravenous infusion. Unlike Remicade, it attacks the B cells as opposed to TNF. Several new monoclonal antibodies are in the developmental stage to treat rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions. 1  Article.

Velcade (bortezomib) is an antineoplastic agent available for intravenous injection. The proteasome is an enzyme complex that exists in all cells and plays an important role in degrading proteins that control the cell cycle and cellular processes.ortezomib causes a delay in tumor growth in vivo in nonclinical tumor models, including multiple myeloma. The compound bortezomib is a reversible inhibitor of the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 26S proteasome in mammalian cells. The 26S proteasome is a large protein complex that degrades ubiquitinated proteins.
