Oops almost forgot to add an amusing fact about Erbitux: It is a chimera -(remember your Illiad by Homer). It is based on a MOUSE gene that has been altered to affect humans. The official literature language is: "a chimera comprising human and mouse monoclonal antibodies against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)"
