The best monoclonal antibody production services will customize each service to fit the needs of your medical facility. Monoclonal antibody production is a critical service for scientific research, the treatment of infectious and noninfectious diseases, and diagnostic treatment. A proper laboratory will have steps in place to carefully monitor and report lab results.
Cancer
Did you know monoclonal antibody production plays a critical role in the research and treatment of cancer? To this day, cancer takes the lives of millions of people across the world. It is an ongoing struggle. The scientific community continues to research and develop newer and better treatment plans.
Production
Monoclonal antibody production is a complicated process that must be closely monitored. Generally, the traditional monoclonal antibody (mAb) starts with generating hybridomas or mAb-producing cells. These cells are generated by fusing myeloma cells with the desired B cell or antibody-producing splenocyte. Most laboratories will source these sales from animals such as mice. The cells are carefully screened after cell fusion. The best antibodies are selected based on their immunoglobulin class and antigen specificity. After this step, hybridoma cell lines are identified. Once these cell lines are identified, validated, and characterized, the clones replicated and additional downstream bioprocesses will then occur.
Treatment
Monoclonal antibodies are used to treat cancer by triggering an immune system response. The immune system response can destroy cancer cells and stop them from metastasizing in other areas of the body. The monoclonal antibodies will destroy cancer cells by breaking down the cancer cell wall and blocking cell growth. Cell replication and growth are critical to cancer survival. Without it, cancer can no longer survive in its host.
