Monoclonal antibody successes in the clinic

TLDR
Most monoclonal antibodies in clinical trials are owned by small biotech companies, but with blockbuster-sized revenues and approval rates higher than those for small-molecule drugs, that all may be set to change.

Cancer cell–selective in vivo near infrared photoimmunotherapy targeting specific membrane molecules

TL;DR: A new type of molecular-targeted cancer therapy, photoimmunotherapy (PIT), that uses a target-specific photosensitizer based on a near-infrared (NIR) phthalocyanine dye, IR700, conjugated to monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting epidermal growth factor receptors is developed.

Continuous cultures of fused cells secreting antibody of predefined specificity

TL;DR: The derivation of a number of tissue culture cell lines which secrete anti-sheep red blood cell (SRBC) antibodies is described here, made by fusion of a mouse myeloma and mouse spleen cells from an immunised donor.

Replacing the complementarity-determining regions in a human antibody with those from a mouse

TL;DR: This work substituted the CDRs from the heavy-chain variable region of mouse antibody B1–8, which binds the hapten NP-cap, for the corresponding CDRs of a human myeloma protein, to determine whether the antigen-binding site could be transplanted from one framework to another by grafting theCDRs.

Chimeric human antibody molecules: mouse antigen-binding domains with human constant region domains

TL;DR: Chimeric genes were constructed that utilized the rearranged and expressed antigen-binding variable region exons from the myeloma cell line S107, which produces an IgA (kappa) anti-phosphocholine antibody as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of functional chimaeric mouse/human antibody

TL;DR: In this article, the authors constructed immunoglobulin genes in which the DNA segments encoding mouse variable regions specific for the hapten trinitrophenyl (TNP) are joined to segments encoding human μ and κ constant regions.
