L189 is a monoclonal antibody that binds to stem cell factor (SCF). SCF is a growth factor that stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of cells in the immune system. L189 binds to SCF with high affinity, and inhibits its activity by preventing the binding of SCF to its receptor. The inhibition of SCF results in decreased production of white blood cells and platelets, which are important for fighting infection and preventing bleeding. This drug has been used as a diagnostic tool for cancer as it can be found at high levels in patients with cancer. L189 also has anti-proliferative effects on cells, thereby slowing down the growth of cancerous tumors.
