Monoclonal antibodies
Monoclonal antibody (mAb) plays a
critical role in recognizing foreign antigen and then either stimulating or
inhibiting immunological or cellular responses. There are several ways that
mAbs can be used for therapy. For
example, cetuximab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the extracellular
domain of EGFR thus achieving its anticancer effect by inactivating EGFR.
