Mechanism of action of ADCs: The antibody portion of an ADC hones onto a cell-surface antigen that is ideally specific to a cancer cell. Upon binding, the ADC-antigen protein complex becomes internalized into the cancer cell. When the complex is degraded, it releases the cytotoxin which then binds to its target to cause cancer cell apoptosis.
