Deep dives

Advancements in Monoclonal Antibody Therapy

Recent developments in cancer research highlight the promise of monoclonal antibody therapy, particularly the unique Mab called 3E10. This antibody stands out due to its ability to penetrate malignant cells and disrupt their DNA repair processes, contrasting with traditional treatments that primarily target surface proteins. The innovative approach of 3E10 allows for targeting key intracellular molecules, such as RAD51, necessary for DNA repair, thereby increasing the vulnerability of cancer cells. By binding to and inhibiting RAD51, 3E10 presents an exciting new strategy for enhancing cancer treatment efficacy.
