Abstract
Catalytic antibodies are immunoglobulins endowed with enzymatic properties. Discovered in the second part of the 1980s, the enthusiasm they initially aroused was counterbalanced by the difficulty of their production and their low catalytic rates. Nevertheless, improvements in expression systems and engineering technologies, combined with various studies suggesting that catalytic antibodies play a role in the immune system, have opened the way to new applications for these proteins. Herein we review catalytic antibodies from a biotechnological point of view, focusing our study on the different production methods, expression systems and their potential clinical applications dedicated to these proteins.
