Therapeutic antibodies for mantle cell lymphoma: A brand-new era ahead.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a heterogeneous aggressive disease and remains incurable with current chemotherapies. The development of monoclonal antibody (mAb) has led to substantial achievement in immunotherapeutic strategies for B-cell lymphomas including MCL. Nonetheless, progress in the clinical use of mAbs is hindered by poor efficacy, off-target toxicities and drug resistance. Thus, novel mAbs engineering and approaches to improve target specificity and enhance affinity and potency are required. In this review, we highlight the latest advances of therapeutic antibodies in MCL, alone or in combination with other strategies and agents, with a particular focus on the current challenges and future prospective.
