title: Novel antibody approaches for T-cell lymphomas.
abstract: T-cell lymphomas are biologically more aggressive--and less responsive than their B-cell counterparts--to conventional chemotherapy. The understanding of the normal physiology of T-cell signaling as well as the pathophysiology of T-cell neoplasia has advanced dramatically in the past decade. Thus, a number of novel cell surface therapeutic targets specific for T-cells have been identified and evaluated as potential monoclonal antibody (MoAb)-based therapeutic targets. Herein, we review a number of these cell surface targets and discuss the development and the clinical evaluation of MoAb therapies directed against these antigens.
