T

Transient antibody production involves introducing antibody genes into cells to produce antibodies for a limited time, without permanently modifying the cell’s DNA.

Therapeutic antibodies are antibodies that have a therapeutic effect when administered to patients. They are used in many distinct diseases like cancers or autoimmune diseases. Recombinant monoclonal antibodies are the most promising representatives due to their high specificities and low degree of immunogenicity, hence minimizing adverse side effects.

T cells are lymphocytes and key players in the human immune system. Prominent members of this cell class are natural killer cells (NK cells) that fight pathogens. Other types of T cells serve as regulatory cells via modulating the activity of other immune system components.
