message: Could you consider adding if not a section then a sentence or two about chimeric antibodies and humanized antibodies?  I put up an item at 1986 in science that would benefit from a linkage to this concept/process.  Thanks. Courtland 19:58, 2005 Feb 21 (UTC)

message: As noted above, I tried to move the article to "Monoclonal antibodies" once before, but it was moved back. I understand that Wikipedia policy requires article titles to be in the singular, but this appears to be a valid exception: the title in the singular makes little sense; the adjective "monoclonal", just like "identical", cannot modify a singular noun. If there is no opposition, I would therefore like to move the article back. AxelBoldt 17:57, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Herceptin is the comercial name for monoclonal Antibodies against the Erb-B2 (an Epidermal Grotwh Factor Receptor) often found over-expressed on cancers and used as treatment for those cancers. 
This is an important example of monoclonal antibodies.

message: How long does it take to obtain a monoclonal antibody? Is it a matter of months or years?
Also, are there studies evaluating the cost of designing such an antibody? I gess it must vary a lot depending on the target protein, but is it a matter of thousands or millions dollars? Calimo (talk) 07:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Time and cost 

message: The text under the third illustration reads: "Monoclonal antibodies can be grown in unlimited quantities in the bottles shown in this picture." This is not correct, antibodies does not "grow" themselves or produce new antibodies. Cells do produce antibodies and cells can (probably) be grown in such flasks. "Unlimited quantities" is also very questionable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eskilt (talk • contribs) 08:54, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

message: We detected some elements that we would like to update:
1. Include EMA in the following sentence: "MAbs approved by the FDA and EMA include" http://www.ema.europa.eu/ema/index.jsp?curl=pages/medicines/landing/epar_search.jsp&mid=WC0b01ac058001d124
2. Update the application content for cetuximab: "Approved in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, metastatic colorectal carcinoma"
3. Under References we would suggest to substitute 34. Takimoto... with "U.S. Food and Drug Administration. “FDA Approved Drug Products.” 2015–11–16."http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm Furthermore, adding the reference "European Medicines Agency. Medicines. 2015–11–16." http://www.ema.europa.eu/ema/index.jsp?curl=pages/includes/medicines/medicines_landing_page.jsp
If there are no doubts concerning those chnages, I would like to implement them. best regards Florian Schaub at Merck KGaA (talk) 15:48, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: . 1. This doesn't work with the sentence, which is about 2005 approvals by the FDA. Please propose a more specific change, since there are presumably several Monoclonal antibodies approved by the EMA. 2. No reliable source is provided for this case. 3. Where in the article should this be content be included? ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 16:26, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
