Antibody tumor penetration: transport opposed by systemic and antigen-mediated clearance.

Filed under: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutical Science — Tags: , — medical insurance @ 9:19 am

Welcome to Wordpublish.org Body!

Antibodies have proven to be effective agents in cancer imaging and therapy. One of the major challenges still facing the field is the heterogeneous distribution of these agents in tumors when administered systemically. Large regions of untargeted cells can therefore escape therapy and potentially select for more resistant cells. We present here a summary of theoretical and experimental approaches to analyze and improve antibody penetration in tumor tissue.
