These targeted treatments are used for various conditions including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases, offering precise therapeutic action with potentially fewer side effects than traditional treatments.

Why is monoclonal antibody therapy important?

• Targeted treatment: Specifically attacks disease cells while sparing healthy tissue.
• Immune system boost: Enhances natural immune responses.
• Personalized medicine: Can be tailored to individual disease characteristics.
