Author(s): Shimuye Kalayu Yirga*, Minhui Lin, Zhongyang Huang and Jianda Hu
Advancement of monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to be accepted as a therapy has long history. This article describes the dramatic developmental trend of therapeutic antibody technology and their significant role for treatment of leukemia-lymphoma at the current time. The therapeutic Mab technology development from murine (mouse origin) to fully human resulted in low immunogenicity and high quality Mabs. Chemotherapy is standard care for leukemialymphoma treatments. However, it is associated with high toxicities (side effects), painful and relatively ineffective against certain leukemia-lymphoma subtypes. The remarkable contribution of Von Behring, Paul Ehrlich and the discovery of hybridoma technology marked the beginning of antibodies for therapeutic applications. Rituximab is the first Mab approved by Food and Drug Administration against B-cell malignancies. Today, a number of effective.. View More»
