Monoclonal antibodies show strong therapeutic potential against neurodegenerative diseases, but a major challenge is ensuring that they can arrive unharmed in the brain at sufficient concentrations. One way around this challenge is to vectorize the monoclonal antibody: encode it within a vector that can infect target cells in the brain and express the antibody in situ.
