Abstract

Monoclonal antibodies are new type of targeted anticancer therapy, which achieve specificity, selectivity and localization in tumor cells. There are many naked antibodies and immunoconjugates commercially approved for different types of cancer (Mehren et al., 2003). In order to improve specificity and selectivity of cytotoxic drugs and toxins, monoclonal antibodies are used for formulation of immunoconjugates. Many efforts are done to develop stable immunoconjugates of trastuzumab with various drugs, toxins and radioisotopes to improve the general conditions of the patients (Sharkey and Goldenberg, 2006). The aim of this paper is to focus on current achievements in the formulation of radioimmunoconjugates of HER2-targeting trastuzumab.
