Monoclonal antibodies

Monoclonal antibodies are lab-made proteins that work like precision-guided missiles in your body, seeking out and attaching to specific disease-causing targets such as cancer cells or viruses. Scientists create them by identifying what makes a harmful invader unique, then engineering immune cells to produce copies of antibodies that match that target perfectly. These antibodies can either mark dangerous cells for destruction by your immune system or directly block harmful proteins, making them powerful tools for treating diseases like certain cancers, autoimmune conditions, and infections.
