Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are typically composed of a monoclonal antibody (mAbs) covalently bonded to a biologically active cytotoxic drug via a chemical linker. The mAb can then bind to a specific target protein or receptor, allowing the delivery of the drug into the target cell.
This combination allows for a highly specific targeting and potent killing effect to achieve accurate and efficient elimination of target cells, without harming healthy cells. This is particularly desirable in treating cancer, as chemotherapy has poor specificity towards tumor tissues and has toxicities to healthy tissues.1
Although most developed ADCs are designed to treat cancer, ongoing research are attempting to use ADCs to treat different diseases such as atherosclerosis, bacteremia, and inflammatory diseases. Furthermore, development of bispecific ADCs, as well as combinations of ADCs with immunotherapy, are anticipated to produce more safe and efficacious therapies.2

DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.856049Antibodies have become essential tools for the diagnosis and treatment of numerous human diseases. However, non-human antibodies, such as those derived from murine sources, often provoke human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) responses. This immunogenicity leads to rapid clea
