Session one overview

Therapeutic antibodies are big business and have revolutionized medicine since Köhler & Milstein developed the hybridoma technique in the 1970s. Starting from the basics (amino acids and proteins, antibody structure and binding), Bristows explained how therapeutic antibodies are generated (including bispecific antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates) and how the body’s innate immune response is utilised in vaccination.
