How does it Work?

A type of monoclonal antibody, Tecentriq 1200 mg injection takes effect by preventing a protein located on the T-cells which is a type of white blood cells from its activity. The function of these T-cells is to regulate the activity of the immune system. The Tecentriq 1200 mg injection restores the T-cells’ power to kill which stimulates the immune system to destroy cancer cells after locating them.
