Not sure how this will turn out but this is the diagram I found relating to the different biologic treatments and the cells they target. This is in response to a query relating to Abatacept - sorry have forgotten posters name. Farm

Xcellent and very clear! I'm on the B cell side!

That's awesome! I'll keep this thanks!

I'll have to look up what the things they block or prevent or target are ..... but the problem when you're trying to get a bit more informed is knowing where to start - this is a great starting point.

All,

There are many diagrams on this web site. :

google.co.uk/search?q=abata...

Understanding some of the diagrams can be confusing!

Interesting, thank you for sharing. Up until recently, I thought all the biological drugs were anti TNFs and I like to consider myself quite informed!

My understanding is that usually, you stard with an anti TNF and then if they don't work, you may move on to the other type of biologics. (Disclaimer; I'm not a doctor, only a patient!)

If you click on bala's link then on images it is a little way down the page. There are lots of different ones some of which are fairly complicated. Farm
