Neutralizing antibodies are a type of antibody that ‘neutralizes’ the activity of a foreign molecule that the body thinks is foreign. Therefore, if your body makes neutralizing antibodies against a molecule you are taking, the neutralizing antibody may prevent the medication molecule from reaching its target. With some drugs, neutralizing activity reduces the therapeutic effect. The clinical significance of neutralizing antibodies to interferons in MS is unknown.
