Purpose Of Review:
Bispecific antibodies combine antigen recognition sites from two or more antibodies into a single construct allowing simultaneous binding to multiple targets. Bispecific antibodies exist which can redirect immune effector cells against acute myeloid leukemia (AML) targets. This review will highlight the progress to date and the challenges in developing bispecific antibodies for the treatment of AML.
Recent Findings:
Currently, a number of bispecific antibody formats including bispecific T cell engagers, dual affinity retargeting proteins, and tandem diabodies are in clinical development for AML. These antibodies target antigens present on AML blasts, including CD33, and the low affinity IL3 receptor, CD123. T cell redirecting bispecific antibodies in early phase clinical trials for AML include AG330, flotetuzumab, JNJ-63709178, and AMV564. Bispecific antibodies represent a promising immunotherapeutic approach for the treatment of cancer. The results of ongoing studies in AML will elucidate the potential for these agents in AML.

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.

Acute Pharyngitis
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:
Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
Antibody Structure and Classes
The basic structure of an antibody consists of four protein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. These chains are held together by disulfide bonds and other non-covalent interactions, forming a Y-shaped structure.
