This article reviews recent advances achieved during recent years on various aspects of
antibody humanization theories and techniques. Common methods for producing
humanized antibodies including framework-homology-based humanization, germline
humanization, complementary determining regions (CDR)-homology-based humanization
and specificity determining residues (SDR) grafting, as well as advantages and
disadvantages of each of these methods and their applications are discussed.
