Plant-Produced Monoclonal Antibody as Immunotherapy for Cancer

الملخص EN

Plant-based products have expanded to include cancer immunotherapy, which has made great strides over recent years.

Plants are considered inexpensive and facile production platforms for recombinant monoclonal antibody (mAb) due to the latest advancements and diversification of transgenic techniques.

Current human biologics, including those based on mAbs produced by fermentation technologies using primarily mammalian cell cultures, have been replaced by plant-produced mAbs, which are cost effective, more scalable, speedy, versatile, and safer.

Moreover, the use of animals for antibody production is always a question of ethical unambiguity, and the suitability of animal models for predicting the immunogenicity of therapeutic mAbs in humans and transposition of the immunogenic potential of therapeutic antibodies in animals to the human situation has no scientific rationale.

Quite a few plant-based mAbs are approved for the treatment of cancer, ranging from tumors to hematological malignancies.

This review focuses on the cutting-edge approaches for using plant-derived mAbs to suppress or prevent cancers.

It also discusses the avenues taken to prevent infection by oncogenic viruses, solid tumors, lymphomas, and other cancerous conditions using mAbs.

The review emphasizes the use of a plant-derived monoclonal antibody as a premier platform to combat cancer.
