ADC Conjugation – An Innovative Approach for Optimizing Targeted Delivery

Roots Analysis

As a result, innovators came up with the idea of magic bullets, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs). It is comprised of three components, namely antibody, drug and linker. The antibody is conjugated to the drug via a linker molecule. The antibody is conjugated to the drug via a linker molecule. Components of an ADC?
