Abstract

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) combine the cytotoxic potential of chemotherapeutic drugs with the specificity of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). After many years of unfulfilled promise, the field of ADCs is experiencing resurgence as more is learned about each of the components of an ADC and how these components need to be combined to produce a successful therapeutic agent. Choosing an appropriate target for ADCs is a critical parameter that effects the efficacy, therapeutic window, and toxicity profile of ADCs. This review will focus on the concepts underlying the choice of the target, review specific current ADCs and their targets, and look to the future of ADCs.
