Antibody Therapies

Antibody Therapy is a form of immunotherapy that uses monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to bind to certain cells, proteins which stimulate the patient's immune system to attack those cells. Antibodies are a key component of the adaptive immune response, in both the recognition of foreign antigens and stimulation of an immune response to them. Antibodies are proteins made by immune system that bind to specific markers on cells or tissues. mAb kill cancer cells directly, or block development of tumor blood vessels, or help immune system to kill cancer cells.
