Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This type of immunotherapy is called monoclonal antibodies, which are made in the laboratory and designed to target a specific antigen on cancer cells. Once attached to the cancer cells, the antibodies can stimulate the immune system, particularly macrophages, to recognize and destroy the cancer cells. Interferons, interleukins, and cytokines are other types of immunotherapy, but they work differently and do not involve attaching to cancer cells with antibodies. Human immunoglobulins are not used for cancer immunotherapy.
