Peer Review Process

Manuscripts submitted to Memorias del Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Salud undergo a double-blind peer review process, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the evaluation. Each manuscript is assessed by a minimum of two external reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area, who are given a period of 30 days to submit their evaluation. Reviewers assess the originality, methodological rigor, scientific relevance, and clarity of presentation of each work. Based on the reviewers' reports, the Editorial Committee decides whether to accept, request revisions, or reject the manuscript, and communicates the decision to the authors as promptly as possible. This process ensures impartiality, transparency, and the scientific quality of published articles.

Abstract

Los anticuerpos constituyen un componente fundamental del sistema inmune, permitiendo el reconocimiento con alta especificidad y posterior destrucción de moléculas extrañas. Los anticuerpos monoclonales, producidos por la tecnología del hibridoma, presentan desventajas para su uso en terapia humana debido a su origen en una especie diferente. La ingeniería genética posibilitó la utilización de los anticuerpos monoclonales para terapias humanas, generando los anticuerpos recombinantes terapéuticos. Así, los anticuerpos recombinantes se han transformado en un importante grupo de fármacos; con decenas de ellos aprobados para terapia humana y cientos en desarrollo. Se utilizan con éxito como tratamiento para un amplio rango de patologías, tales como cáncer, autoinmunidad e infecciones, siendo desde hace años el biofármaco con mayores ventas. Inicialmente todos los anticuerpos recombinantes terapéuticos presentaban la estructura convencional de los anticuerpos. Sin embargo, más recientemente, se han generado nuevos diseños que no poseen las características estructurales naturales, como los anticuerpos de simple cadena y bi-específicos. Debido al desarrollo y éxito de la tecnología de anticuerpos recombinantes, se espera un aumento constante en el número de anticuerpos terapéuticos contra nuevos blancos, además de la generación de nuevas estructuras, usos y estrategias terapéuticas. En esta revisión, nos centraremos en las características estructurales y los nuevos formatos de anticuerpos, así como su aplicación clínica en el tratamiento de diversas patologías. Además analizaremos los nuevos formatos de anticuerpos que se encuentran en el mercado y la aparición de los anticuerpos biosimilares.
