Vedolizumab does not bind to the majority of memory CD4+ T lymphocytes (60%), neutrophils, and most monocytes. The highest level of vedolizumab binding is to a subset (25%) of human peripheral blood memory CD4+ T lymphocytes that include gut-homing interleukin 17 T-helper lymphocytes. Vedolizumab also binds to eosinophils at high levels, and to naive T-helper lymphocytes, naive and memory cytotoxic T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and basophils at lower levels; vedolizumab binds to memory CD4+ T and B lymphocytes with subnanomolar potency (EC 50 =0.3-0.4 nM). Vedolizumab selectively inhibits adhesion of α4β7-expressing cells to mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule 1 (IC 50 =0.02-0.06 g/mL) and fibronectin (IC 50 =0.02 g/mL), but not vascular cell adhesion molecule 1.
