Monoclonal Antibodies

Meaning

Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs) are laboratory-produced proteins engineered to mimic the body’s natural antibodies, designed to bind specifically to a single, unique target antigen on a cell or protein. In clinical practice, these highly specific agents are utilized as targeted therapies to neutralize specific pathogens, block signaling pathways, or selectively destroy diseased cells, such as cancer cells or cells involved in autoimmune disorders. Their precision makes them a cornerstone of modern, targeted pharmacotherapy.
