Antibodies are proteins that are part of the body's natural defence against infection.
They recognise foreign cells and organisms and destroy them. Monoclonal antibodies have been designed to recognise specific types of cancer cells. There are now monoclonal antibodies that can recognise and destroy CLL cells, while having little effect on normal body cells. All rights reserved.
