Monoclonal antibody, Application of Monoclonal Antibody, Uses
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are highly specific antibodies produced from a single clone of hybrid cells and play a significant role in the immune response against antigens. They can be used in various therapeutic applications, including cancer treatment, and diagnostic tools in research, such as pregnancy tests and HIV kits. Production methods include animal methods and in vitro culture, with different types of mAbs categorized based on their engineering and therapeutic purposes.

Antigen
• Anysubstance that induces the immune system to produce antibodies against it is
called an antigen. Any foreign materials , such as pathogens (bacteria and
viruses), chemicals, toxins, and pollens
• An antigen (Ag) is a molecule or molecular substance such as may be present on
the outside of a body, that can be bound by an antigen-specific antibody or B-cell
antigen receptor. The presence of antigens in the body normally triggers
an immune response.
• An epitope refers to the specific target against which an individual antibody
binds.
• When an antibody binds to a protein, it isn’t binding to the entire full-length
protein. Instead, it is binding to a to a segment of that protein known as an
epitope. In general, an epitope is approximately five or six amino acids in
length.

B cellsare formed from
multipotent hematopoietic stem
cells (HSCs) in the bone marrow.
B cells are a type of lymphocyte that
are responsible for the humoral
immunity component of the adaptive
immune system. These white blood
cells produce antibodies, which play a
key part in immunity.
Each B cell contains a single round
nucleus

Antibody :
•It is specialized Glycoprotein produced from activated B cell (Plasma cell) in
response to an antigen that trigger its production.
• An antibody is a protein component of the immune system that circulates
in the blood, recognizes foreign substances like bacteria and viruses, and
neutralizes them. After exposure to a foreign substance, called an
antigen, antibodies continue to circulate in the blood, providing protection
against future exposures to that antigen.
• An antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), it is a large, Y-shaped
protein used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects
such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses.

Monoclonal Antibody
i.A class of highly specific antibodies produced by the single clone of
hybrid cell
ii. Produced by fusion a B cell secreting the desired antibody with a tumor
cell ( myeloma cell ) Capable of growing indefinitely
iii. Fused cell called Hybridoma
iv. Monoclonal antibodies all have identical antigen-binding sites
Bind to the same epitope with same affinity
Same antibody class
7.

Polyclonal Monoclonal
Produced byMany B cell clones A single B cell clone
Bind to:
Multiple epitopes of all
antigens used in the
immunization
A single epitope of a
single antigen
Antibody class A mixture of different Ab
classes (isotopes)
All of single Ab class
Ag- binding sites: Different antigen-binding
site
All Abs have the same
antigen binding site
Cost Less expensive More expensive

• Types ofmonoclonal antibodies
Naked Monoclonal Antibody :
Those without any drug or radioactive material attached to them.
Marks the cells from immune system
Attach to receptor - block binding of growth factor
E.g : 1) Trastuzumab - for advanced breast cancer
2) Rituximab : For B cell non Hodgkin lymphoma
3) Cetuximab : for metastatic colorectal cancer .
Conjugated / Loaded monoclonal antibody
Coupled with drug / toxins/ radioactive atoms

Chemo-labeled antibodies:
MAbsConjugated with chemo therapeutic agents
Eg: Brentuximab vedotin
Brentuximab vedotin attached to a chemo drug target the CD30 antigen ( present on
T and B cells) in treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma
Immune-Toxins:
Conjugated with toxins
Eg : Denileukin diftitox
Used to treat some cancer (cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and many other)
Consist of IL-2 protein attaches to toxin (derived from the germ causing diphtheria)
IL-2 normally attached to cell that express the CD25 antigen and thus helps in
delivering the toxins to these cell

Production ofMonoclonal Antibodies.
Production in animals
Mouse ascites method
• Hybridoma cells injected in mouse
• Produce ascites (Excessive Abdominal fluid)
• Fluid contain high concentration of Abs
• No further concentration required
• Purification required
• Easy and inexpensive
11.
11
Production incall cultured ( In - vitro)
Batch tissue culture method
• Grow Hybridoma cells in batch
• Purify MAbs from the culture media
• Fetal bovine serum commonly use
• Low concentration
• Semi permeable membrane based system
22
Route ofadministration
Subcutaneously : ( Rituximab, Trastuzumab, adlimumab)
Intramuscularly : ( Palvizumab)
Intravenously : Preferred because of 100% Bioavailability
Route of elimination of antibodies
Via uptake and catabolism
Half-life
- Chimeric : 4-15 days
- Humanized 3-24 days
- Recombinant human : 11-24 days

Application of MonoclonalAntibody
Diagnostic tools in research and laboratory
Different technique in which MAbs are used include Western blot, ELISA,
radioimmune Assay ( RIA), Fluorescence microscopy
Diagnostic application
MAbs is used to detect pregnancy as early as a week or two after conception
by reacting with human chorionic gonadotropin

Fight againstbio terrorism
Inhalation anthrax ( Potent biological terrorism) is caused by breathing the bacterial
spores of bacillus anthracites.
Raxibacumab injection is used to treat infectious inhalational anthrax when
alternative therapies have failed.
