what do different cells in the body have?
different surface antigens
What do cancer cells
have
?
Antigens
called
tumour markers
that are
NOT
found on
normal body cells
monoclonal
antibodies can be made that will bind to the
tumour markers
what can you also attach to the
antibodies
?
anti-canceer drugs
what happens when the antibodies come into contact with the cancer
cells
?
they will bind to the
tumour markers.
This means the drug will only
accumulate
in the body where there are cancer cells.
So, the
side effects
of an antibody-based drug are
lower
than other drugs because they accumulate near
specific
cells
