Antibodies that can destroy particular target antigens are known as monoclonal antibodies. These antibodies can bind to the proteins (receptors present on the cellular membrane) of harmful cells and release cytotoxic agents (specific for antigens). Thus they can kill the antigens without causing any harm to the healthy cells. These types of antibodies have been identified by researchers and can be produced in laboratory in sufficient amounts. Monoclonal antibodies have proved to be beneficial in cancer treatment.
ZMapp And Remdesivir should not be used to treat Ebola virus disease, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in its new guideline.
Most people receiving treatment for breast cancer prefer treatment with PHESGO compared to IV administration.
According to a new study, combination of monoclonal antibodies and dexamethasone is more effective than either of these treatments alone.
A new study adds more evidence that previously infected individuals and fully vaccinated individuals are at risk for infection with the Omicron variant.
Monoclonal antibody cocktail therapy is gaining a lot of attention and emerging as hope for COVID patients. Here's everything you need to know about it.
The organisation has also urged drug producing companies and governments to address the high price and limited production of the antibody combination.
Administering monoclonal antibodies upfront to sero-negative autoimmune patients helped in reducing the risk of severe disease and hospitalisation.
The antibody cocktail therapy is recommended for Covid-19 patients above the age of 65, who require no oxygen support but are at risk of developing a severe form of the infection owing to their underlying health conditions.
If you get Covid-19 and are at higher risk for severe illness, ask your doctor about monoclonal antibody therapy, say researchers. Read to know more about this medication.
