Abstract:
The antiglobulin response is perceived as a major problem in the clinical development of therapeutic antibodies. Successive technical developments such as chimeric, humanized and, now, fully human antibodies claim to offer improved solutions to this problem. Although there is clear evidence that chimeric antibodies are less immunogenic than murine monoclonal antibodies, little evidence exists to support claims for further improvements as a result of more elaborate humanization protocols.

Humoral Immune Responses
Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
