摘要
The induction of antibodies by prophylactic vaccination against infectious diseases has been the most effective medical intervention in human history. More recently, monoclonal antibodies specific for host proteins have proven to be highly effective for the treatment of acute and chronic diseases. However, the costs of protein therapies and their inconvenience for the patient are major obstacles for their widespread use. We suggest that the movement from the passive administration of monoclonal antibodies to active vaccination against self-molecules could be the next logical step in drug development, providing affordable medicines and broader patient acceptance and compliance.
