However, mAbs are large molecules and due to the blood–brain barrier, uptake of mAb into the brain is extremely limited, only approximately 1 of 1000 mAb molecules is estimated to pass. [25] However, the Peripheral Sink hypothesis proposes a mechanism where mAbs may not need to cross the blood–brain barrier. [26]
Therapeutic, diagnostic and preventive monoclonal antibodies are clones of a single parent cell. When used as drugs, the International Nonproprietary Names (INNs) end in -mab.
A monoclonal antibody (mAb, more rarely called moAb) is an antibody produced from a cell lineage made by cloning a unique white blood cell. All subsequent antibodies ...
Antibody Solutions was founded in 1995 by current president, John Kenney, PhD, Judith Lynch-Kenney, and Dennis and Bette Gould. Dr. Kenney previously managed the monoclonal antibody (MAb) development laboratory for Syntex Research in Palo Alto, while Gould managed the MAb production facility for Syva Diagnostics. Gould left Antibody Solutions ...
Broken down into ab-ci-xi-mab, its name shows the drug to be a chimeric monoclonal antibody used on the cardiovascular system. This and the following two names would look the same if the 2009 convention were applied. [37] The name of the breast cancer medication trastuzumab can be analyzed as tras-tu-zu-mab. Therefore, the drug is a humanized ...

By providing information on mechanism of action, epitope mapping is a critical component in therapeutic monoclonal antibody (mAb) development. Epitope mapping can reveal how a mAb exerts its functional effects - for instance, by blocking the binding of a ligand or by trapping a protein in a non-functional state.
Maximum or maximal androgen blockade (MAB) or complete or combined androgen blockade (CAB) is a medical treatment involving the combination of both androgen receptor (AR) antagonism and inhibition or suppression of androgen production to attain maximal effectiveness in androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
