Development of Therapeutic Antibodies and Their Antigens for Treatment of Disease

Dear Colleagues,

Therapeutic antibodies have become the prevailing class of novel therapeutic drug candidates in recent years, due to their high specificity and fewer adverse effects. As a result, new antibody drugs have been developed to treat various human diseases, including cancers, infectious diseases, and autoimmune diseases, which has led to unprecedented growth in the pharmaceutical market.

This Special Issue covers the development of antibody drugs (or candidates), the latest advances in the discovery, engineering, validation, and manufacturing of therapeutic antibodies, and novel antibody-based therapeutic platforms, including bispecific-antibodies, single-domain antibodies, and antibody–drug conjugates. This Special Issue invites both original research and reviews.
