Protein Therapeutics Drug Discovery
Learn about protein therapy and Monoclonal Antibodies.
"There is so much more to know, it's so fresh, learning the applications of protein therapy could be endless."
Monoclonal antibodies (MABs) are types of treatment that act on processes in cells. This type of treatment or biological therapy is widely used in the fight on cancer. There are already many different MABs available to treat cancer. MABs are designed to recognize and target specific proteins on the surface of cells. In the

Issues/Ethics
Vaccines come in two basic types: live attenuated and inactive. Live attenuated are produced by altering a disease producing virus or bacterium in a laboratory. The resulting organism retains the ability to grow and produce immunity. Many of the live attenuated vaccines that are available contain live viruses. Inactivated vaccines can be made up of either whole or a fraction of viruses or bacteria.
Fractional vaccines are either protein based or polysaccharide based. Protein based vaccines include inactivated bacterial toxins and subunits or incomplete viral particles.
treatment for cancer for example, each antibody recognizes one particular protein and are made to target different types of cancer.
