Post by: bimazek on January 03, 2009, 03:25:49 am
If U have taken any monoclonal antibody to treat any disease-- usually a cancer, or transplant rejection or auto immune, or T cell CD3 Receptor inhibitor, or Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) or  lymphoma, etc see complete list below then PLEASE POST -your experiences with these meds only if you had hiv at the time, i am curious about the effect on how you felt, your body, cd4 counts up or down, did doctor say anything about them being good or bad regarding hiv infection.

I have not seen any info and am curious to hear peoples first hand experience, supposedly they are tolerable for general population

Did you have any good or bad experiences on them, were you on HAART at the time or was it before you started haart

all these drugs end in letters...... mab  for example  Abciximab,

FDA-approved therapeutic monoclonal antibody

FDA approved therapeutic antibodies

The first FDA-approved therapeutic monoclonal antibody was a murine IgG2a CD3 specific transplant rejection drug, Muromonab (OKT-3), in 1986.  Currently, twenty-one FDA-approved therapies exist, and hundreds of therapies are undergoing clinical trials. Most are concerned with immunological and oncological targets.
