Other signal-jamming treatments use monoclonal antibodies, tiny proteins that resemble the human immune system's own antibodies but that bind to the surface of cancer cells. New York City- based ImClone Systems has an antibody called IMC-C225, now in the final phases of testing in colorectal and head and neck cancer, that acts like bubble gum stuffed in a keyhole. It prevents a specialized protein known...
