Antibodies for Treating Cancer: Basics, Development, and Applications
Autor Melvyn Littleen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 mai 2022
The growing importance of the topics covered here was highlighted by the joint award of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Frances H. Arnold (directed evolution of enzymes), George P. Smith (phage display of peptides) and Sir Gregory P. Winter (phage display of antibodies). Furthermore, the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to James P. Allison and Tasuku Honjo for their discovery of cancer therapy by inhibition of negative immune regulation. Many of the antibodies that are now being brought to market target precisely these immune checkpoint modulators.
The book addresses a broad readership, ranging from professionals and experts in the field to residents and medical students.
