Representatives of these types of antibodies typically exhibit potent neutralizing activity, which has translated to protection against robust viral challenge in relevant animal models at even modest serum titers3 and provided a strong impetus for exploring strategies to elicit equivalent nAbs.
Both selumetinib and cixutumumab had modest antitumour activity as single agents, providing the impetus for this and other targeted combination strategies (Table 1) (Rothenberg et al, 2007; Banerji et al, 2010).
