Antibody therapies
Antibody therapies involve using specially designed proteins called antibodies to help fight diseases like infections or cancer. These antibodies are created to recognize and bind to specific targets, such as parts of a virus or tumor cells. Once attached, they can neutralize the threat directly or signal the immune system to attack. This approach harnesses the body's natural defense system in a precise and targeted way, often leading to effective treatments with fewer side effects compared to traditional medicines. Antibody therapies are used for various conditions, including certain cancers, autoimmune diseases, and infections like COVID-19.
