Abstract
In this chapter the preclinical considerations for antibody target discovery, validation, and in vitro and in vivo pharmacology will be discussed. A deep understanding of both the biology and the pathology of disease is essential for target identification and validation. This knowledge enables the rationale design of antibody therapeutic attributes including mechanism of action (MOA), specificity, potency, isotype subclass, affinity, and half-life. Subsequently, consideration and utilization of the appropriate animal models will enable optimal translation to the clinic and assist in clinical trial design. Additionally, preclinical considerations for the successful HER2 and CD20 antibody drug therapeutics will be presented as case studies.
