Antibody Engineering

Antibody engineering is a process used to alter the properties of antibodies to create molecules with improved therapeutic potential. This is done by modifying the antibodies’ structure, affinity and specificity in order to increase their effectiveness against a specific target or to modify their physiological properties. This technique is used to improve the effectiveness of treatments, to reduce the side effects of drugs, and to create new antibodies that can recognize and bind to antigenic targets. In addition, antibody engineering is being used to develop new vaccines and therapeutic antibodies that can provide better protection against diseases. The application of antibody engineering is growing in the fields of biotechnology, drug development, and medical diagnostics, as it allows for more targeted and efficient treatments.
