Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are used to prevent, detect, and treat a broad spectrum of non-communicable and communicable diseases. Over the past few years, the market for mAbs has grown exponentially with an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.07% from 2024 (237.64 billion USD estimated at the end of 2023) to 2033 (679.03 billion USD expected by the end of 2033). Ever since the advent of hybridoma technology introduced in 1975, antibody-based therapeutics were realized using murine antibodies which further progressed into humanized and fully human antibodies, reducing the risk of immunogenicity. Some benefits of using mAbs over conventional drugs include a drastic reduction in the chances of adverse reactions, interactions between drugs, and targeting specific proteins. While antibodies are very efficient, their higher production costs impede the process of commercialization. However, their cost factor has been improved by developing biosimilar antibodies as affordable versions of therapeutic antibodies. Along with the recent advancements and innovations in antibody engineering have helped and will furtherly help to design bio-better antibodies with improved efficacy than the conventional ones. These novel mAb-based therapeutics are set to revolutionize existing drug therapies targeting a wide spectrum of diseases, thereby meeting several unmet medical needs. This review provides comprehensive insights into the current fundamental landscape of mAbs development and applications and the key factors influencing the future projections, advancement, and incorporation of such promising immunotherapeutic candidates as a confrontation approach against a wide list of diseases, with a rationalistic mentioning of any limitations facing this field.
单克隆抗体 (mAbs) 被用于预防、检测和治疗广泛的非传染性和传染性疾病。在过去的几年中,mAbs 市场呈指数级增长,预计从 2024 年(2023 年底预计为 2376.4 亿美元)到 2033 年(2033 年底预计为 6790.3 亿美元)的复合年增长率 (CAGR) 为 11.07%。自 1975 年引入杂交瘤技术以来,基于抗体的治疗方法就已经使用鼠源抗体来实现,进一步发展为人源化和全人源抗体,降低了免疫原性风险。与传统药物相比,使用 mAbs 的一些好处包括大大降低不良反应、药物相互作用和靶向特定蛋白质的风险。尽管抗体非常有效,但它们较高的生产成本阻碍了商业化进程。然而,通过开发可负担得起的治疗性抗体的生物类似物,降低了其成本因素。随着抗体工程的最新进展和创新,有助于并将进一步设计比传统抗体具有更高疗效的生物改良抗体。这些新型 mAb 治疗方法有望彻底改变针对广泛疾病的现有药物治疗方法,从而满足许多未满足的医疗需求。本文综述了 mAbs 开发和应用的当前基本情况,并探讨了影响未来预测、进展和纳入这些有前途的免疫治疗候选药物的关键因素,为广泛的疾病提供了一种对抗方法,并合理地提及了该领域面临的任何限制。
