Monoclonal antibodies have been successfully utilized in a variety of animal models to treat auto-immune illnesses for a long time. Immune system responses will either be less active or more active depending on how the immune system is operating abnormally. Immune system hypoactivity reduces the body's capacity to fight off various invading pathogens, whereas immune system hyperactivity causes the body to attack and kill its own tissues and cells. For maximal patient compliance, we will concentrate on a variety of antibody therapies in this study to treat Type 1 diabetes (an autoimmune condition). T-cells are responsible for the auto-immune condition known as T1D, which causes irregularities in the function of β-cells in the pancreas. As a result, for the treatment and prevention of T1D, immunotherapies that selectively restore continuous beta cellspecific self-tolerance are needed. Utilizing monoclonal antibodies is one way to specifically target immune cell populations responsible for the auto-immune-driven disease (mAb). Numerous mAbs have demonstrated clinical safety and varied degrees of success in modulating autoimmunity, including T1D. A targeted cell population is exhausted by mAb treatments, regardless of antigenic specificity. One drawback of this treatment is the loss of obtained protective immunity. Immune effector cell function is regulated by nondepleting monoclonal antibodies (mAb). The antigenfocused new drug delivery system is made possible by the adaptability of mAbs. For the treatment of T1D and T-cell-mediated autoimmunity, different existing and potential mAb therapy methods are described in this article.

Solution-based affinity assays are used for the selection and characterization of proteins that could be developed into therapeutic molecules. However, these assays have limitations for cell-surface proteins as in most cases their purification requires detergent solubilization and are unlikely to assume conformations in solution that resemble their native states in cell membranes. This report describes a novel electrochemiluminescence-based method, called MSD-CAT, for the affinity analysis of antibodies binding to cell-surface receptors.

Purpose: Dupilumab is a widely recommended treatment for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), with known ocular side effects but less frequent cutaneous reactions.
Material And Methods: This case report details a 52-year-old female patient with atopic dermatitis treated with dupilumab. After an initially successful treatment, the patient developed a rosacea-like dermatitis.

Background: Data sharing accelerates scientific progress and improves evidence quality. Even though journals and funding institutions require investigators to share data, only a small part of studies made their data publicly available upon publication. The procedures necessary to share retrospective data for re-use in secondary data analysis projects can be cumbersome.

Purpose: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are now first-line therapy for most patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC), and cetuximab is most often used as subsequent therapy. However, data describing cetuximab efficacy in the post-ICI setting are limited.
Methods: We performed a single-institution retrospective analysis of patients with R/M HNSCC treated with cetuximab, either as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, after receiving an ICI.
