The discovery of the tumor markers, opened a new era in the development of antibody-targeted cancer therapy. This book evaluates the potential of recombinant derivatives of an anti-MUCI and an anti- ErbB2 Mabs to serve as tools for breast cancer detection and therapy. To explore the potential of Mabs in antibody-targeted cancer therapy, a novel IgG-toxin immunoconjugate is described. This work provides evidences that bivalent antibody-toxin molecules (200 kDa) are superior to the corresponding recombinant monovalent immunotoxins (69 kDa) in killing tumor cells in culture and human carcinoma xenografts in nude mice, suggesting that higher avidity and longer residence time may outweigh tumor penetration. Although many challenges must be addressed before the approaches mentioned in this book become standard tools for cancer therapy, continued research in this area will feed the clinical product pipeline and play an increasingly important role in finding the \"magical bullet\" for cancer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yariv Mazor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639145860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639145861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Yariv Mazor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47305522020607,"sku":"9783639145861","price":73.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c83c3f89-5daa-4b5f-8136-c84151864590.jpg?v=1758831112","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/recombinant-antibodies-for-cancer-immunotherapy-yariv-mazor-9783639145861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
