| Monoclonal Antibodies | |
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are monospecific antibodies that are identical as these are made by one type of immune cells that are all clones of a single parent cell. mAbs can be produced against almost any given substance and as these are very specific to the substance, they are being used for detection (diagnostic) as well as treatment (therapeutic). mAbs are being produced through Hybridoma Cell Production Technique using cell reactors. Another technology is recombinant antibody engineering which uses viruses or yeast to create antibodies in fermenters. |
