Antibody(Ab) is a protein used by the immune system to identify and
neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses.
An antibody is called monoclonal (mAb)
when each immunoglobulin is produced
by a single clone of cells and hence is
identical to every other molecule in the
preparation, in terms of heavy as well as
light chain structure.
Polyclonal antibodies (pAb) are
produced by B-lymphocyte which
respond to many epitopes of antigen.

Specificity.Affinity.
Potential to generate large quantities of Abs under precisely controlled
conditions.
In vivo and in vitro production is possible with high production rate.
Immortal cell lines.

mAb cant differentiate between two antigens if the body is directed to an
epitope common to antigens.mAb to viral strains are so specific that they dont react to other minor strains of
same virus.
pAb have potential for co-operatively binding to respective antigens, so
stabilising the overall affinity and binding forming precipitating complexes
while mAbs form network with antigens.

Hybridoma cells are injected into pristane primed rodents, the cell line
proliferates and are stored in ascitic fluid.
10-50 mL of fluid is collected containing several mg/mL of antibody.
mAbs produced this way are considered unsuitable because of viralcontamination.
Widely used in research applications.
The inherent variability in animals can result
in lack of consistency, while some linesproduce solid rather than diffuse tumors,
and some produce none or
kill the host.

Fermentation is most widely employed for production of monoclonal
antibodies because of the problems associated with above listed
methods.No contamination with normal mouse immunoglobulin is seen with
fermentation.
Apart from this, bacterial cell cultures, transgenic animals and
transgenic plants are also used for production of monoclonal antibodies
but to a very limited extent.

The main problem is the mouse antibodies are recognised by human
immune system as foreign material and the patients develop a immune
response against them, producing HAMA (Human Anti-Mouse
Antibodies).
The doses of monoclonal antibodies to treat chronic diseases are
typically large.
Stability issues concerned with oxidation, deamidation, aggregation,
fragmentation and other forms of chemical modification with alter orprobably nullify the antibody function.

Antibodies exhibit four main effector functions: antibody-dependent
cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, complement-dependent
cytotoxicity (CDC), and half-life/clearance rate.
Each of these effector functions is mediated through interaction with a
specific set of receptors and cell types: ADCC and phagocytosis throughinteraction of cell-bound mAbs with Fc gamma receptors (Fc R), CDC
through interaction of cell-bound mAbs with the series of soluble blood
proteins that constitute the complement system (e.g. C1q, C3, C4, etc.),
and half-life/clearance rate through binding of antibodies to the neonatal
Fc receptor (FcRn).C1q binding and complement activation.

Chimeric antibody- As HAMA response of patients is due to Fc
portion of murine Abs, murine Fv region was fused with human Fc to
produce Chimeric genes.
Ex- Infliximab, rituximab, and abciximab
Humanised antibody- This consists of fusion of hyper variable region,aminao acids responsible for antigen binding with human antibody thus
replacing its own hyper variable region.
Ex-Mylotarg, Herceptin, Xolair
Chimeric antiody
Humanised antiody

mAb + Calcichemicin
Antibody portion of molecule targets CD33 (a cell surface molecule), abundanton the surface of acute myeloid leukemia cells (AML) & absent from normalblood stem cells.
AML cells accumulate in the bone marrow and prevent normal bone marrowfrom growing an functioning properly.
Calcichemicin is a potent anti-cancer drug which intercalates into DNA andbreaks it, because of which cells undergo apoptosis.
Antibody targets calcichemicin to AML cell specifically through CD33 cellsurface molecule
Calcichemicin kills AML cells.

Successful clinical application of these novel agents requires the development
of stable formulations that can be used for specific delivery methods.
Antibodies, because of their endogenous nature, have built-in features that may
pose problems for stability as bio-therapeutics.
Lyophilization and pH dependent modification.
Several modes of targeting is achieved successfully.
Linking up the technology to gene therapy will ensure highly specific treatment
Examples of such an approach include studies performed using an antibody
directed against the Her2/neu antigen to delivery liposomes containing achemotherapeutic have been described, antibodies used to deliver cationic
liposomes for the administration of nucleic acid material for gene therapy.
