Clarifying a synergistic effect between different types of antibodies in cancer treatment - EurekAlert


In a 2022 study, scientists from Japan reported that the simultaneous administration of two different antibodies targeting the same cell membrane protein enhanced the tumor suppression effect of a drug attached to one of them. Now, in a recent breakthrough study, the same research group has clarified the underlying mechanism behind this peculiar observation. Their findings could serve as the basis for the development of an enhanced drug delivery system against cancer.    In a 2022 study, scientists from Japan reported that the simultaneous administration of two different antibodies targeting the same cell membrane protein enhanced the tumor suppression effect of a drug attached to one of them.
