A magic bullet is a term sometimes used for a
drug that is specifically targeted on certain
cells or tissues in the body, such as a small
collection of cancerous cells or cells that
have been invaded by a virus. Such drugs can
be made in various ways, but monoclonal
antibodies are increasingly being used to
direct the drug to a specific target.
