Telitacicept is an innovative B-cell lymphocyte stimulator/proliferation inducing ligand(BLyS/APRIL) dual-target fusion protein drug independently developed by RemeGen that can prevent abnormal differentiation of B cells by simultaneously inhibiting the overexpression of two cytokines, BLyS and APRIL, thereby treating a variety of immunology diseases mediated by B cells.

About Telitacicept (RC18) 

Telitacicept (RC18, Brand Name: 泰爱®) is RemeGen's proprietary novel fusion protein for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. It is constructed with the extracellular domain of the human transmembrane activator and calcium modulator and cyclophilin ligand interactor (TACI) receptor and the fragment crystallizable (Fc) domain of human immunoglobulin G(IgG). Telitacicept targets two cell-signaling molecules critical for B-lymphocyte development: B-cell lymphocyte stimulator(BLyS) and a proliferation inducing ligand (APRIL), which allows it to effectively reduce B-cell mediated autoimmune responses that are implicated in several autoimmune diseases. It was granted conditional marketing approval by China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to treat systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in March 2021.
