- 3. What are antibodies? An antibody is a protein used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses. Each antibody recognizes a specific antigen unique to its target. Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are antibodies that are identical because they are produced by one type of immune cell, all clones of a single parent cell. Polyclonal antibodies are antibodies that are derived from different cell lines. They differ in amino acid sequence.

- 6. History of mAb development 1964 Littlefield developed a way to isolate hybrid cells from 2 parent cell lines using the hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine (HAT) selection media. 1975 Kohler and Milstein provided the most outstanding proof of the clonal selection theory by fusion of normal and malignant cells 1990 Milstein produced the first monoclonal antibodies. Paul Ehrlich at the beginning of the 20th century theorized that a cell under threat grew additional side-chains to bind the toxin, and that these additional side chains broke off to become the antibodies that are circulated through the body. It was these antibodies that Ehrlich first described as "magic bullets" in search of toxins.

- 8. Characters of Monoclonal Antibodies Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are a single type of antibody that are identical and are directed against a specific epitope (antigen, antigenic determinant) and are produced by B-cell clones of a single parent or a single hybridoma cell line. A hybridoma cell line is formed by the fusion of a one B- cell lymphocyte with a myeloma cell. Some myeloma cells synthesize single mAb antibodies naturally
- 9. Monoclonal Antibody Production Method Monoclonal Antibody Production technology was developed in 1975. Since its development it has been very important in the modern medical science with the diagnosis, therapy, research and even basic science today. It is still largely dependent upon animal testing however. Because it requires immunization of mice in order for them to create the antibodies to be grown. Monoclonal Antibody Production or mAb is produced by cell lines or clones obtained from the immunized animals with the substance to be studied. Cell lines are produced by fusing B cells from the immunized animal with myeloma cells. To produce the desired mAb, the cells must be grown in either of two ways: by injection into the peritoneal cavity of a suitably prepared mouse (the in vivo, or mouse ascites, method) or by in vitro tissue culture. The vitro tissue culture is the method used when the cells are places in culture outside the mouse's body in a flask.
- 11. The previous picture is showing a mouse being immunized against a target cell “X”. This will allow the mouse to produce antibodies for that will target against the “X” antigen. Once the mouse has formed antibodies to the “X” antigen the cells are then isolated in the mouse’s spleen. Monoclonal antibodies are produced by fusing single antibody-forming cells to tumor cells grown in culture. The resulting cell is called a hybridoma. Hybridoma cells are continuously growing cell line generated by the fusion of a myeloma cell and a normal cell that are capable of producing antibodies. Each hybridoma will produce relatively large quantities of identical antibody molecules. Because the hybridoma is multiplying in culture, it is possible to produce a population of cells, each is producing identical antibody molecules. These antibodies are called "monoclonal antibodies" because they are produced by the identical offspring of a single, cloned antibody producing cell.
- 13. Practical steps in monoclonal antibody production: 1) Immunize animal 2) Isolate spleen cells (containing antibody-producing B cells) 3) Fuse spleen cells with myeloma cells (e.g. using PEG - polyethylene glycol) 4) Allow unfused B cells to die 5) Add aminopterin to culture to kill unfused myeloma cells 6) Clone remaining cells (place 1 cell/well and allow each cell to grow into a clone of cells) 7) Screen supernatant of each clone for presence of the desired antibody 8) Grow the chosen clone of cells in tissue culture indefinitely. 9) Harvest antibody from the culture supernatant. 10) (If you’re a biotech company) charge about $1,000-$2,000 per mg.
- 15. Types of Monoclonal Antibodies Hybridoma creates Monoclonal antibodies Monoclonal antibodies are typically made by fusing myeloma cells with the spleen cells from a mouse that has been immunized with the desired antigen. However, recent advances have allowed the use of rabbit B-cells.
- 17. Monoclonal – Diagnostic useA monoclonal antibody can be used to detect pregnancy only 14 days after conception. Other monoclonal antibodies allow rapid diagnosis of hepatitis, influenza, herpes, Chlamydiastreptococcal, and infections. They can be used to detect for the presence and quantity of this substance, for instance in a Western blot test (to detect a substance in a solution) or an immunofluorescence test. Monoclonal antibodies can also be used to purify a substance with techniques called immunoprecipitation and affinity chromatography.
- 18. Limitations with Mouse Monoclonals Problem in medical applications is that the standard procedure of producing monoclonal antibodies yields mouse antibodies, and these are rejected by the human immune system
- 19. Conjugated monoclonal antibody therapy Toxins or radioactive isotopes are bound to the constant region of the MAbs. When the MAb binds to the surface cells of a tumor the toxin or radioactivity will kill the cancer cells and all cells within a certain radius (a killing zone). In this way cancer cells within the tumor will be killed

Monoclonal antibodies for cancer treatment Possible treatment for cancer involves monoclonal antibodies that bind only to cancer cells specific antigen and induce immunological response on the target cancer cell (naked antibodies). mAb can be modificated for delivery of [toxin], radioisotope, cytokine.
- 21. Possiblesideeffectsof monoclonalantibodies Monoclonal antibodies are given intravenously (injected into a vein). Compared with the side effects of chemotherapy, the side effects of naked mAbs are like an allergic reaction. These are more common while the drugis first being given.
