Monoclonal Antibodies
SUMMARY Monoclonal Antibodies are identical antibodies and Can be generated in ultimated amounts by countinuos cultures of single antibody- secreting cells. These cell lines are produced by cell fusion of normal lymphocytes to cells of a myeloma tumor cell line, which confers on the antibody producing hybrid cell, immortality and the ability grow as atumor in animals. monoclonal antibodies c...
متن کاملTherapeutic antibodies for infectious diseases
Perspectives Passive immunization is the transfer of antibodies and occurs naturally during pregnancy. The transplacental transfer of maternal antibodies to the fetus can protect the infant from many infectious diseases for the first vulnerable months of its life. Passive immunization has been used in the global effort to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. Researchers have estimated that ...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibodies in rheumatic diseases.
Candice Yuvienco, MD, and Stuart Schwartz, MD aN iNCreased uNdersTaNdiNg of The immunopathogenesis of rheumatic diseases has dramatically improved the identification of therapeutic targets within the inflammation cascade. These targets include cytokines, B cells, and molecules involved in T cell interactions, which have been pivotal in the initiation and perpetuation of the immune response. D...
متن کاملUsing monoclonal antibodies to prevent mucosal transmission of epidemic infectious diseases.
Passive immunization with antibodies has been shown to prevent a wide variety of diseases. Recent advances in monoclonal antibody technology are enabling the development of new methods for passive immunization of mucosal surfaces. Human monoclonal antibodies, produced rapidly, inexpensively, and in large quantities, may help prevent respiratory, diarrheal, and sexually transmitted diseases on a...
متن کاملInfectious complications associated with monoclonal antibodies and related small molecules.
Biologics are increasingly becoming part of routine disease management. As more agents are developed, the challenge of keeping track of indications and side effects is growing. While biologics represent a milestone in targeted and specific therapy, they are not without drawbacks, and the judicious use of these "magic bullets" is essential if their full potential is to be realized. Infectious co...
