Understanding Bispecific Antibody Drug Conjugates (BsADCs)

Introduction Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) consist of antibodies, linkers, and cytotoxic payloads. Compared to traditional chemotherapy, ADCs target tumors with the promise of reducing systemic toxicity, providing a broader therapeutic window and a higher therapeutic index. Over the past decade, ADCs have gradually matured in the treatment of solid tumors and hematological malignancies, becoming a revolutionary … Read more

Understanding Different Types of ADCs

Understanding Different Types of ADCs

In today’s circuit design, the vast majority of scenarios involve mixed-signal circuit designs that integrate both digital and analog components, and the intermediate connection channels in mixed circuits inevitably rely on ADC and DAC. For example, the joystick inside our daily remote controls operates on the principle of a sliding potentiometer. Some higher-end designs use … Read more

What Exactly Is an ADC?

What Exactly Is an ADC?

Known as magic bullets, ADCs have been highly praised in recent years. The design concept of these drugs is clear: to utilize the high specificity of antigen-antibody binding to selectively deliver toxins to antigen-positive cells, thereby selectively killing target cells and reducing damage to normal cells. However, like other drugs, the actual performance of ADCs … Read more

Understanding ADCs: A Comprehensive Guide

Understanding ADCs: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) are targeted therapies that consist of antibodies, linkers, and cytotoxic drugs, using monoclonal antibodies as carriers to efficiently deliver cytotoxic drugs to target tumor cells in a targeted manner, combining the powerful killing effect of traditional chemotherapy with the tumor-targeting capability of antibody drugs. An ideal ADC maintains stability in the … Read more

Selection of Target Antigens in ADC Design

Selection of Target Antigens in ADC Design

Source: Xiaoyao Shuo Yao Introduction Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) are a powerful cancer treatment method that combines monoclonal antibodies targeting specific antigens with small molecule cytotoxic drugs linked by a linker. ADCs utilize the specificity of antibodies for their target antigens, combined with the potency of cytotoxic drugs, to selectively kill tumor cells expressing the target … Read more
