Application of Quantitative Pharmacology in Development of Therapeutic Monoclonal Antibodies
Journal Title: The AAPS Journal - Year 2010, Vol 12, Issue 4
Abstract
The advancement of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies during various stages of the drug development process can be effectively streamlined when appropriate translational strategies are applied. Design of successful translational strategies for development of monoclonal antibodies should allow for understanding of the dose– and concentration–response relationships with respect to both beneficial and toxic effects from early phases of drug development. Evaluation of relevant biomarkers during early stages of drug development should facilitate the successful design of safe and effective dosing strategies. Moreover, application of quantitative pharmacology is critical for translation of exposure–response relationships early on.

Paracellular Tightness and Claudin-5 Expression is Increased in the BCEC/Astrocyte Blood–Brain Barrier Model by Increasing Media Buffer Capacity During Growth
Most attempts to develop in vitro models of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) have resulted in models with low transendothelial electrical resistances (TEER), as compared to the native endothelium. The aim of the pre...
Intraperitoneal Injection of Clodronate Liposomes Eliminates Visceral Adipose Macrophages and Blocks High-fat Diet-induced Weight Gain and Development of Insulin Resistance
Macrophage infiltration in adipose tissue is strongly correlated with obesity. The exact role of macrophage in the development of obesity, however, has not been fully understood. In this study, using intraperitoneal inje...
