Abstract
The monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) selectively hinder the signaling involved in tumor growth and/or stimulate immune responses against tumor cells. Through the combination of mAbs, it is possible to target multiple pathways at the same time, which could result in additional or cooperative effects. In recent years, the method of generating mAbs from pathways individual isolated B cells has gained popularity. As of now, there are no therapeutic mAbs that have been approved by the US FDA. However, this technology has some significant benefits and the current obstacles associated with it are being addressed. The efficacy of mAbs is highly dependent on the antigen labeling methodology, the arrangement of sorting antigens (such as monomer or dimer), and the selection of primers for amplification. The use of bevacizumab in combination with cetuximab or panitumumab in advanced colorectal cancer may provide undesirable outcomes. These combinations lead to a decrease in the length of progression-free survival and an increase in toxicity when compared to therapy with only one antibody. The mAbs represent a notable example of a translational scientific breakthrough, which took around ten years to progress from laboratory use to practical clinical use. However, it is essential to assess the cost, efficacy, and safety of mAbs treatments due to their potentially high cost. This review focuses on the possibility of mAbs being delivered through nanotechnology-based formulation techniques. The emphasis is placed on recent patents that are linked to mAbs.
