Monoclonal antibody-based therapy of neuroblastoma.
Review
Overview
abstract
The curative potential of mAbs in the treatment of patients with metastatic neuroblastoma is increasingly evident. The idiotype network appears to represent one component of a complex mechanism for success with mAb-based immunotherapy. Ongoing strategies to modify or reconstruct mAbs, to engage them with cytokines, or to unite them with T cells open new avenues for harnessing the unique forces of the immune system against some of the most deadly pediatric cancers.
