  • Monoclonals 5/10/06 11:51 Page 17
    Monoclonals 5/10/06 11:51 Page 17 Therapeutics MONOCLONALS the billion dollar molecules of the future In 1975, two British scientists thought of creating a mouse antibody that could be replicated or ‘cloned’ to produce identical copies. Identical copies with identical modes of action had the potential to be a drug.They had launched what was to be one of biotechnology’s best ideas. If the pair could mimic the immune system’s ‘seek and destroy’ capability by pre-designing antibodies for all manner of disease targets, it should be possible to block or activate cellular activity to order. It was an elegant concept opening up a raft of therapeutic possibilities, particularly in the area of cancer. Here it might be possible to attach a chemotherapy drug to an antibody.The antibody’s specificity for a particular disease target would guide the chemo drug only to the cancerous cells and not the healthy ones.The concept, therefore, was excellent, but the use of mice monoclonals had drawbacks.The human body did not like antibodies from mice anymore than it liked the flu virus, so the antibodies themselves triggered an immune response and were destroyed.This ‘immunogenicity’ issue was to occupy researchers for another 20 or so years before it became possible to craft a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that would be acceptable to the human immune system. fter rather a long period in the desert, untreatable diseases.
