Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Treatment of Systemic Sclerosis.

abstract：:Monoclonal antibodies have revolutionized cancer therapy. However, delivery to tumor cells in vivo is hampered by the large size (150 kDa) of conventional antibodies. The minimal target recognition module of a conventional antibody is composed of two non-covalently associated variable domains (VH and VL). The proper o...
