Use of an antibody to target specific cells (often tumor cells) or signal transduction pathways (often via chemokines/cytokines) in the treatment of disease.
Note: The main objectives are stimulation of the patient’s immune system to attack malignant tumor cells and the prevention of tumor growth by blockage of specific cell receptors.
