A comprehensive guide to the concepts, technology, and applications of antibody-mediated drug delivery systems

Antibody-Mediated Drug Delivery Systems: Concepts, Technology, and Applications provides readers with comprehensive coverage of one of the fastest growing fields of pharmaceutical and biotechnology research. An up-to-date, practical reference on the essential ideas, analytical developments, processing, and utilization of antibody-mediated drug delivery systems, this edited volume features contributions from acclaimed experts from around the globe.

Each of the twenty-two chapters explores the opportunities, challenges, and uses of antibody-mediated delivery systems for generating novel therapeutic treatments. Topics covered include targeted treatments for cancer, cardiovascular diseases, asthma, and other conditions, as well as brain drug delivery, vaccine delivery, plant-derived antibodies, gene therapy, and more.

Six of the ten bestselling drugs on the market today are therapeutic antibodies, yet no definitive and detailed review of current developments in the field has been published since 1988. Antibody-Mediated Drug Delivery Systems fills this hole in the literature, with insightful coverage of the full spectrum of essential concepts, technologies, and applications of these treatments, making it an essential resource for medical and scientific researchers and students working in industry and academia.
