Introduction: Antibody-Mediated Therapy Special Issue Part 2

Antibodies have been used therapeutically for well over a century but the breadth and depth of their applications are increasing so rapidly and successfully that clinical studies are informing mechanistic questions while basic research continues to interrogate how antibodies are made and function, so their properties can be further refined. The first part of this Special Issue comprised five review articles (1); this second part includes four more reviews. Once again, we thank the authors for their excellent contributions. This issue also includes an original research article that builds on observations from patients with hyper-IgM syndrome to further define the mechanism for antibody class-switch recombination (CSR).
