Antibody Inhibitors

Antibody inhibitors are specialized proteins created by the immune system that can block the action of other proteins, such as those involved in disease processes. They work by binding to specific target proteins, preventing them from functioning properly. This can be useful in treating various conditions, including autoimmune diseases and certain cancers, by stopping harmful activities in the body. Scientists can also design antibody inhibitors as medications that precisely target disease-related proteins, offering a more tailored approach to treatment while minimizing side effects compared to traditional therapies.
