Recombinant Antibodies for Cancer Therapy: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology, 207)

In Recombinant Antibodies for Cancer Therapy: Methods and Protocols, Martin Welschoff and Jürgen Krauss present a collection of carefully selected protocols for the design, construction, and characterization of novel anticancer therapeutics based on recombinant antibody technology. These readily reproducible methods include coverage of hybridoma-derived recombinant antibodies, recombinant antibody fragments from phagemid-displayed antibody repertoires, antibody fragments with additional properties, and large-scale production of recombinant antibodies for clinical applications. Concise review articles also survey the current status of recombinant antibodies in cancer therapy, as well as the generation of antibody molecules through antibody engineering.
