Abstract
The developments of antibodies for cancer therapeutics have made remarkable success in recent years. There are multiple factors contributing to the success of the biological molecule including origin of the antibody, isotype, affinity, avidity and mechanism of action. With better understanding of mechanism of cancer progression and immune manipulation, recombinant formats of antibodies are used to develop therapeutic modalities for manipulating the immune cells of patients by targeting specific molecules to control the disease. These molecules have been successful in minimizing the side effects instead caused by small molecules or systemic chemotherapy but because of the developing therapeutic resistance against these antibodies, combination therapy is thought to be the best bet for patient care. Here, in this review, we have discussed different aspects of antibodies in cancer therapy affecting their efficacy and mechanism of resistance with some relevant examples of the most studied molecules approved by the US FDA.
近年来,用于癌症治疗的抗体研发取得了显著成就。导致生物分子成功的因素有很多,包括抗体的来源、同种型、亲和力、效价和作用机制。随着人们对癌症进展和免疫调节机制的深入了解,重组形式的抗体被用来开发治疗模式,通过靶向特定分子来操纵患者的免疫细胞,从而控制疾病。这些分子成功地减少了小分子药物或全身化疗带来的副作用,但由于对这些抗体的抗药性不断发展,联合疗法被认为是治疗病人的最佳选择。在这篇综述中,我们以美国 FDA 批准的研究最多的分子为例,讨论了抗体在癌症治疗中影响其疗效和抗药性机制的不同方面。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Biomedical Science is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on fundamental and molecular aspects of basic medical sciences. It emphasizes molecular studies of biomedical problems and mechanisms. The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), Taiwan supports the journal and covers the publication costs for accepted articles. The journal aims to provide an international platform for interdisciplinary discussions and contribute to the advancement of medicine. It benefits both readers and authors by accelerating the dissemination of research information and providing maximum access to scholarly communication. All articles published in the Journal of Biomedical Science are included in various databases such as Biological Abstracts, BIOSIS, CABI, CAS, Citebase, Current contents, DOAJ, Embase, EmBiology, and Global Health, among others.
