Cytokine release syndrome is a common immediate complication occurring with the use of anti-T cell antibody infusions such as ATG OKT3 and TGN1412 but also with the CD-20 antibody rituximab. Severe cases are known as cytokine storms.The pathogenesis is that the antibodies bind to the T cell receptor activating the T cells before they are destroyed.
