Handbook Of Therapeutic Antibodies

Still the most comprehensive reference source on the development, production and therapeutic application of antibodies, this second edition is thoroughly updated and now has 30% more content. Volume 1 covers selection and engineering strategies for new antibodies, while the second volume presents novel therapeutic concepts and antibodies in clinical study, as well as their potential. Volumes 3 and 4 feature detailed and specific information about each antibody approved for therapeutic purposes, including clinical data. This unique handbook concludes with a compendium of marketed monoclonal antibodies and an extensive index. Beyond providing current knowledge, the authors discuss emerging technologies, future developments, and intellectual property issues, such that this handbook meets the needs of academic researchers, decision makers in industry and healthcare professionals in the clinic.

In this most comprehensive reference source for the development, production and therapeutic application of antibodies, Volume I contains general chapters presenting established technologies and clinical applications. Volume II provides a look at emerging technologies, new therapeutic concepts, and clinical studies. The third volume features detailed and specific information about each currently approved type of antibody, including the clinical data. A must-have resource for academic researchers, decision makers in industry and healthcare professionals in the clinic.

This most comprehensive reference source for the development, production and therapeutic application of antibodies is now available as a competitively priced softcover edition. It includes general chapters presenting established technologies and clinical applications, chapters on emerging technologies, new therapeutic concepts, and clinical studies and detailed and specific information about currently approved therapeutic antibodies, including clinical data. Nearly 100 international experts and researchers from academia, industry, and such regulating bodies as the FDA have contributed to this work. Includes are also information on intellectual property issues, hardly available elsewhere. A must-have resource for academic researchers, decision makers in industry and healthcare professionals in the clinic. From the foreword by Mark Glassy, Chairman & Professor, The Rajko Medenica Research Foundation, and Chief Executive Officer, Shantha West, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA: "After more than a century of intense analysis, antibodies continue to amaze and inspire. This Handbook of Therapeutic Antibodies is not just an assembly of articles but rather a state-of-the-art comprehensive compendium, which will appeal to all those interested in antibodies, whether from academia, industry, or the clinic. It is an unrivalled resource which shows how mature the antibody field has become and how precisely the antibody molecule can be manipulated and utilized." Stefan Dubel studied biology at the universities of Mainz and Heidelberg, initially concentrating on developmental biology. From 1989 onwards he carried out pioneering work on antibody phage display and antibody libraries with randomised CDRs. Further work focussed on antibody fusion proteins and improvements of antibody phage display. Currently he is Director of the Department of Biotechnology at the Technical University of Braunschweig and coordinator of the 'Antibody Factory' within the German National Genome Research Network. Stefan Dubel has co-authored a number of textbooks, about 90 publications and 15 patents in the field of recombinant antibodies and phage display.

This essential work, edited by two researchers at London’s famous Queen Mary’s medical school targets one of the most important areas in medical development today. These days, antibody therapeutics are the treatment of choice for several autoimmune and oncological conditions. They are, indeed, becoming the molecules of choice for further combination therapies and cell engineering. In this timely work, a slew of expert in the field of drug development summarize all the current developments and clinical successes.

Antibodies are an indispensable tool in the study of biology and medicine. Making and Using Antibodies: A Practical Handbook presents techniques in a single, comprehensive source for the production and use of antibodies. It enables researchers to immediately access lab-tested, proven protocols. Written and edited by an elite team of scienti

A sample of the most exciting developments in the cloning, manipulation, expression and application of genetically-engineered monoclonal antibodies. This rapidly-evolving field has witnessed the PCR combinatorial cloning of vast immunological diversity, in vitro mutagenesis of MAbs, MAbs created by transgenic animals, novel expression systems in plants, animals and lower systems, as well as a rich variety of genetically modified MAbs as potential therapeutic agents. Leading scientists from academia and industry present their own findings as well as short reviews of these research areas.

Addressing a significant need by describing the science and process involved to develop biosimilars of monoclonal antibody (mAb) drugs, this book covers all aspects of biosimilar development: preclinical, clinical, regulatory, manufacturing. • Guides readers through the complex landscape involved with developing biosimilar versions of monoclonal antibody (mAb) drugs • Features flow charts, tables, and figures that clearly illustrate processes and makes the book comprehensible and accessible • Includes a review of FDA-approved mAb drugs as a quick reference to facts and useful information • Examines new technologies and strategies for improving biosimilar mAbs

This detailed book covers methods for studying, producing, and analyzing therapeutic antibodies, measuring their concentration, developing neutralizing antibodies for them, and for predicting and monitoring their therapeutic efficacy and clinical effects. These biologics are the fastest growing pharmaceutical drug group and have had tremendous clinical and scientific impact in cancer, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, and other immune-related diseases, making the content of this volume essential. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible methods, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Therapeutic Antibodies: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide for researchers working with the production of, research on, and development of therapeutic antibodies as well as for clinicians using therapeutic antibodies in daily work with patients.
