Please have a look at the files that I have attached below and make sure you read it to understand the full essay and the requirements. This topic is far too large for you to address in its entirety, so I will expect you to select a particular area within the topic. You are free to choose this yourself; for example, you might choose “The use of genetically engineered antibodies in cancer diagnosis”, or “The potential of camelid antibodies for the treatment of infectious diseases” (but I would prefer you to think of your own topic). Choose something that interests you!
Do not cover material already addressed in the Antibody lectures. Rather, you should use this knowledge as your starting point.
The term “genetically engineered antibodies” includes any antibody or antibody-based molecule(s) obtained using the techniques of genetic engineering. So monoclonal antibodies obtained using the original hybridoma technique are excluded, but antibodies obtained using the techniques of genetic engineering at any stage in the process would be included. The term “healthcare” covers diagnosis, prognosis, prophylaxis and therapy.
I will be looking for an intelligent, up-to-date, thorough and critical analysis of your chosen topic. It must be based on published literature, which must be relevant to the topic and correctly cited and referenced according to the Harvard/APA system.
