... Immune checkpoint proteins belonging to the B7 family (B7-1, B7-2, B7-H1, B7-DC, B7-H3, B7-H4, HHLA, and others) are largely responsible for imposing negative inputs, which mitigate T-cell function post TCR activation. Tumor cells often evade immune detection by co-opting the inhibitory signaling ax ...

Monoclonal antibody
Monoclonal antibodies (mAb or moAb) are monospecific antibodies that are made by identical immune cells that are all clones of a unique parent cell, in contrast to polyclonal antibodies which are made from several different immune cells. Monoclonal antibodies have monovalent affinity, in that they bind to the same epitope.Given almost any substance, it is possible to produce monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to that substance; they can then serve to detect or purify that substance. This has become an important tool in biochemistry, molecular biology and medicine. When used as medications, the non-proprietary drug name ends in -mab (see ""Nomenclature of monoclonal antibodies""), and many immunotherapy specialists use the word mab anacronymically.
