- Title
Immunology: Pimp my antibody.
- Authors
Check, Erika
- Abstract
The article focuses on the development of the design, trial and sale of antibody drugs and therapies. Antibody therapies have proven to be successful in part because they work against some diseases for which treatment options are scarce, such as treatment of cancer. Researchers and pharmaceutical companies are attempting to modify the rear end of antibodies so that they bind their receptors more strongly and boost a patient's immune response.
