Can super-antibody drugs be tamed?

Article Abstract:

Volunteers at London's Northwick Park Hospital who were put in intensive care were probably struck by a huge immune reaction called a cytokne storm, a flood of inflammatory molecules released by cells called helper T cells which shut down their organs in hours. The UK Medical and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, which approved the trial, revealed that it has found no evidence of contamination in the treatments, which means the devastating effects were almost certainly caused by TGN1412 itself.
