In-Depth Analysis of Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADC) – Part 3

Introduction Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are “biological bullets” formed by conjugating cytotoxic drugs (payloads) to antibodies via a “linker.” They consist of five components: target, antibody, linker, payload, and conjugation method. Each part is crucial to the function of ADCs, but today we will focus on the linker that connects the antibody and payload, examining the … Read more

Comprehensive Interpretation of Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADC)

Since the first use of cytotoxic chemicals to treat cancer, oncologists have been searching for ways to enhance efficacy without significantly increasing overall toxicity to patients. One of the methods attempted to improve the killing effect on tumor cells is the use of cytotoxic agents with potency at picomolar or lower levels (such as microtubule … Read more
