UncleBilly she used monoclonal antibodies against cancer: Vitteta "became the director of the Cancer Immunology Center as well as the Scheryle Simmons Patigian Distinguished Chair in Cancer Immunology at UT Southwestern. The Cancer Immunology Center's focus was on developing immunotoxins and monoclonal antibodies to destroy cancer cells and AIDS. The center had a number of breakthroughs under Vitetta's leadership. In 1997 Vitetta and her team of scientists found that chemically altered monoclonal antibodies killed cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies are single-celled antibodies that have binding sites at the end of their two arms which could attach to cancer cells and signal them to die. The scientists combined two of the antibodies to form a dimer that had four binding sites. This would increase the effectiveness of the antibodies in destroying the cancer cells. The new dimers were used to treat patients with lymphoma or breast cancer."
