Antibodies to cancer cells

Patent Granted Antibodies are a key component of the adaptive immune response, playing a central role in both the recognition of foreign antigens and the stimulation of an immune response to them. It is not surprising therefore, that many immunotherapeutic approaches involve the use of antibodies. The advent of monoclonal antibody technology has made it possible to raise antibodies against specific antigens, such as the unusual antigens present on tumor surfaces.
