Abstract The clinical application of monoclonal antibodies mAbs potentially concerns a wide range of diseases including among others viral infections cancer and autoimmune diseases. Although intravenous infusion appears to be the simplest and most obvious mode of administration it is very often not applicable to long-term treatments because of the restrictive cost of mAbs certified for human use and the side effects associated with injection of massive doses of antibodies. Gene cell therapies designed for sustained and possibly regulatable in vivo production and systemic delivery of mAbs might permit to advantageously replace it. We have already shown that several such approaches allow month- to year-long ectopic antibody production by
