Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
While in the past decades the majority of biological agents in development for therapeutic purposes have been based on classical antibodies, more recently the field has experienced a major increase in the introduction of engineered and bispecific antibodies that mediate novel functions and have differentiated mechanisms of action. Consequently, engineered and bispecific antibodies have become dominant topics in academic and pharmaceutical therapeutic antibody research and development. This Special Issue of Antibodies aims to collect original manuscripts and reviews covering the progress in the broad field of engineered (bispecific) antibodies, including antibody fusion proteins and immunocytokines, with a focus on their therapeutic application in cancer (immuno-) therapy, as well as in therapy for autoimmune and infectious diseases.
