Drugs and antibodies are two types of molecules that can be used to target specific cells or pathways in the body. Drugs are small molecules that can bind to and disrupt specific proteins or enzymes within a cell, whereas antibodies are large proteins that can bind to specific molecules on the surface of cells, such as hormones or receptors. Together, drugs and antibodies can be used in combination to target multiple pathways or cell types, potentially increasing the effectiveness of treatment. It is also common to use the term "biologic therapy" when talking about the use of antibodies for the treatment of diseases, as these are drugs that are produced in living organisms, like genetically engineered cells.
