Monoclonal antibody, Application of Monoclonal Antibody, Uses KundanSable1
Monoclonal antibody, antibody produced artificially through genetic engineering and related techniques. Production of monoclonal antibodies was one of the most important techniques of biotechnology to emerge during the last quarter of the 20th century. When activated by an antigen, a circulating B cell multiplies to form a clone of plasma cells, each secreting identical immunoglobulin molecules. It is such immunoglobulins—derived from the descendants of a single B cell—that are called monoclonal antibodies.

The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2. Points of discussion
• Introduction
• Development
• Types of ILC
• Subset of NK cell
• NK cell – activating and inhibitory receptors
• Mechanism of action
• Clinical importance
3. Introduction
• Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) & Natural Killer (NK)
Cells - cells of lymphoid origin
• Morphology and functionally similar to T cell but
without T cell antigen receptor
• Crucial role in innate response against microbe and
stressed cell
5. Innate lymphoid cell
Types cytokines function
Group 1 ILCs ( like TH 1
cell )
IFN gamma Macrophage activation
Group 2 ILCs ( like TH2
cell )
IL-5, IL-9 and IL-13
Contribute to allergic
disease and
helminthic infection
Group 3 ILCs ( like Th17
cell)
IL 17, IL 22 ,GMCSF
Defence against
extracellular bacteria
maintaining the
integrity of epithelial
barriers
8. NK cell
Kill infected cells without any further differentiation after
development
large, granular, bone marrow-derived lymphocytes - CD56+
CD3 - ( in humans ) .
10% of peripheral blood total human lymphocytes - appear
as large lymphocytes with numerous cytoplasmic granules
Also found in peritoneal cavity, spleen, liver, lung, lymph
nodes, thymus, and in uterus during gestation.
Use germline DNA-encoded receptors to distinguish
pathogen-infected cells from healthy cells
9. Subset of Nk cell
CD 56 dim
• 90% of the total NK cell
population in peripheral
blood
• Functionally, these have
high cytotoxic activity
CD 56 bright
• 10 % of NK cell in blood is
CD 56 bright
• They produce cytokines
10.
11. Receptors
• NK-cell function - controlled by a wide range of receptors
• Either activating or inhibitory in nature.
• NK cells distinguish infected and stressed cells from healthy
cells
• A particular NK cell typically expresses two to four inhibitory
receptors in addition to an array of activation receptors.
• There is sizeable heterogeneity within the NK-cell population.
12. NK cell receptor
Inhibitory receptor
• Killer immunoglobulin-like
receptors ( KIRs ) or Ig-like
receptors (CD158)
• C type lectin receptors
(CD94-NKG2A)
• leukocyte inhibitory
receptors (LIR1, LAIR-1).
Activating receptor
• Natural cytotoxicity
receptors ( NKp46, NKp44 )
• C type lectin receptors
(NKG2D, CD94 - NKG2C)
• CD16 (FcγRIII)
17. Final pathway
• Perforin and granzymes mediated apoptosis
• A caspase-dependent apoptosis
• Antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) - CD16.
• NK cell–derived IFN-γ increases the capacity of
macrophages to kill phagocytised bacteria
18.
19. Role in rheumatic disease
• Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) – role in
autoimmune diseases
• Most studies on KIRs have been based on the missing self
theory
• NK cells have either a disease-promoting or a disease-
controlling role.
• In RA tissue, NK cells has disease-promoting functions, by
tissue infiltration
• A disease-controlling role is clearly suggested in SLE patients
20.
21. Take home message
• ILC – A new paradigm in immunology , is innate counterpart of adaptive
T cell response
• NK cells, much early discovered , can be considered as a subset of ILC
• NK cell and ILC - crucial role in stress response
• NK cell has activating and inhibitory receptors - helping its function
• KIR on NK cell - association in rheumatic disease
• role of NK cells in autoimmune diseases will help to define new
therapeutic targets.
• Emerging research on ILCs showing its both protective and promoting
role in autoimmunity
