What is the Role of Catalytic Antibodies in Pathogen Defense?
Catalytic antibodies, also known as abzymes, possess the unique ability to catalyze chemical reactions. These antibodies can be engineered to target specific antigens on pathogens, catalyzing their degradation or neutralization. By combining the specificity of antibodies with the catalytic power of enzymes, abzymes represent a promising approach for targeted pathogen defense.
