I could only guess that they wouldn't be called cancer (if that's the case) because they are antibodies and not whole cells. There are all sorts of things besides cancer which replicate rapidly to the disadvantage of the host body, like viruses, and I think protein/amyloid/etc plaques related to Alzheimers also do something like that even if they are 'only' proteins which are usually building blocks of life and not its impediments.

To have white blood cells corrupted and turned against you is even more contrary!
