Precise identification of mutated proteins for cancer therapy

Scientists have succeeded in finding a new way to treat some types of cancer that has fewer side effects.

According to the medical and health news service of Tekna Technology Media, some cancers are caused by a small change in the genes of cells. This small change causes a protein to be made in the cell that instead of functioning normally, tells the cell to grow wildly and become cancerous. The problem is that the mutated protein is very similar to the healthy protein, and drugs designed to destroy the mutated protein may also damage healthy cells.

Using a new method, researchers have created antibodies that only recognize and bind to mutated proteins. These antibodies are like signals that tell the body’s immune system to destroy cancer cells. Since this method only targets the cancer cells, the side effects of the treatment will be much less. This treatment method is very precise and targets only cancer cells. This discovery can lead to the development of new and more effective drugs to treat various types of cancer.

Using genetic engineering techniques, researchers have designed antibodies that accurately recognize mutated proteins. These antibodies are designed to bind only to a specific part of the mutant protein that is not present in the intact protein. This research is still in its early stages, but the results are very promising. Researchers believe that this method can help treat many types of cancer and improve the lives of cancer patients.
