mAb (monoclonal antibody) therapies

Monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies are treatments that use lab-made proteins, designed to mimic the body's natural antibodies. These proteins target specific cells or proteins in the body, such as cancer cells or pathogens, to help the immune system respond more effectively. mAbs can block harmful substances, mark cells for destruction, or even deliver drugs directly to targeted cells. They are used in various medical fields, including oncology, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases, offering a more precise approach to treatment compared to traditional therapies.
