After 12 months of treatment scans confirmed that she was in remission and there was no evidence of abnormal lymphocytes. However, six months later at a follow up appointment the patient complained of bone pain in her hips and sternum and her oncologist noticed swollen lymph nodes and ordered a biopsy, CBC, and PET scan. The blood tests identified an abnormally high number of circulating antibodies in the blood and a high blood viscosity (thickness) as a result. The results of the remaining tests confirmed this and resulted in a diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a blood cancer that results in slow progressing excess lymphocyte proliferation. This is a rare but not uncommon side effect of the drugs meant to treat the lymphoma. The doctor ordered plasmapheresis to treat the high blood viscosity and decided to begin her on a course of treatment involving brentuximab, a monoclonal antibody therapy.      Name and describe three ways that circulating antibodies target foreign invaders for elimination.
