Abstract:

Antibody is a large and Y-shaped protein that is secreted by effect B cells and binding to antigen specificity. Monoclonal antibody is a highly homogeneous antibody against a specific antigen epitope produced by single B cell clone. Because of its high specificity,monoclonal antibody is widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In 1990s,polymerase chain reaction technology,antibody library technology and transgenic technology promoted the development of monoclonal antibody preparation technology to all humans. Monoclonal antibody has a broad application prospects in disease diagnosis and treatment of tumors and autoimmune infectious diseases. This review focuses on the application of monoclonal antibody drugs in clinical medicine.
