Antibody Conjugation is a very important process mainly for medical purposes. Through this process it is possible to perform both invitro and invivo studies for the benefit of humankind. The process can be defined in simple language as the binding of antibodies with other components. This is usually done to obtain some specific expected results. These components may be either live or non-living.
The nature of this process only allows it to be done in an advanced set up owing to the complexity and costs involved. Irrespective of the cost for carrying out the process, the resultant benefit in many occasions outweighs the cost. Reviewed below are some of the milestones achieved as a result of the process.
Using appropriate techniques, a significant number of illnesses can now be well managed with high level of success. One of the benefits is that, scientist have been able to bind to the immunoglobulin cells useful radioelements to help combat cancerous cells. The process exploits the antibody as a transporter of the redioelements to loci of the infection. Upon the delivery of the elements, it singles out the cancerous cells and deals with it appropriately to bring back normalcy.
When managing most of the bacterial infections, the same principle is used. Due to the fact that the antibody has displayed ability to attach to components with good bactericidal effects, they can then be used. Through this means, antibiotics can be delivered to the very site of the infected cells. With the delivery of the appropriate amounts of the drug, the disease-causing microbe is eventually destroyed resulting to recovery of the patient.
Medical researchers have extended their studies and greater heights of achievements have been realized with the binding process of the immunoglobulin with other components. Through the several studies that have run for considerably long time, important medical diagnostic kits have been produced. Currently medical laboratory procedures that previously had to run for a long time can now be done in a matter of minutes. This is courtesy of the test kits that have enzyme conjugates components.
It would be unfair to talk only on the positive aspect of the process and not mention the adverse effects. Due to the fact that bacteria can through the same process bind, because most of the bacteria reproduce through binary fusion, it also helps them to multiply. This in itself puts the patient at risk given that the virulence of a microorganism is increased with its population growth.
On the other hand, medical experts have observed a tendency in some patient to be resistant to some anti bacterial therapy. Subsequent studies have revealed that in some cases, the bacteria must have exchanged DNA material with the antibodies from the hosts body. This process usually results to a mutated bacterial cell that does not respond to the normal drug or treatment regimen.
Humankind should therefore appreciate the heights scaled through antibody conjugation related studies and processes. Everybody bestowed with the responsibility to handle such processes should exercise caution to ensure that the safety of other people. Such studies should also be conducted with the care to avoid production of more bacteria of different strains.
