Life | Hot Papers on Antibody-Based Treatment

Antibodies are immune proteins that mark the evolution of the host’s immune response to infection. In recent years, both passive and active immunotherapies based on antibodies have shown a growing potential. In this collection, the articles reported here demonstrate how important antibody-based therapies are, and therefore, that their clinical and laboratory research should continue to flourish, so to optimize their clinical use.
