Monoclonal Antibodies Report Part I
The report provides a comprehensive financial and strategic analysis of the mAb market, forecasting its commercial evolution out to 2012 and assessing trends by product, company, therapy area, technology and target type. It also provides an insight into the direction of mAb technology evolution and an analysis of pipeline dynamics.
