Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary mechanism of action of monoclonal antibodies?
  • Step 1: Understand that monoclonal antibodies are special proteins made in the lab.
  • Step 2: Know that these antibodies are designed to recognize specific targets called antigens.
  • Step 3: When a monoclonal antibody finds its matching antigen, it attaches to it.
  • Step 4: This attachment can block the antigen's normal function, preventing it from causing harm.
  • Step 5: Alternatively, the binding of the antibody can signal the immune system to destroy the antigen.
