Fully human therapeutic monoclonal antibodies.

Weiner, Louis M·2006·Journal of Immunotherapy

Abstract

Monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy has been facilitated by a number of technologic advances over the past 30 years. Whereas hybridoma development of murine mAbs was requisite for the development of mAbs as drugs, the inherent immunogenicity of rodent sequences in humans has presented obstacles to the clinical application of mAbs. Sensitization to mAb therapeutics poses significant risk to the patient and may blunt the efficacy of these therapies. The advent of chimeric antibodies lessened but did not eliminate the rodent content of mAbs; thus, immunogenicity remained a concern. Further elimination of rodent sequences enabled the production of humanized mAbs, followed by current technology using phage display and, finally, transgenic mice technology, which allows for the generation of fully human therapeutic mAbs. The reduced immunogenicity of this new generation of mAbs is expected to enhance efficacy, safety, and ease of use. In addition to providing replacements for existing mAb drugs, new technologies have greatly facilitated the optimization and modification of mAbs, opening numerous therapeutic avenues.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
