Remove ads

Immunoconjugates are antibodies conjugated (joined) to a second molecule, usually a toxin, radioisotope or label.[1]

These conjugates are used in immunotherapy[citation needed] and to develop monoclonal antibody therapy as a targeted form of chemotherapy[2] when they are often known as antibody-drug conjugates.

When the conjugates include a radioisotope see radioimmunotherapy. When the conjugates include a toxin see immunotoxin.
