Monoclonal Antibodies Monoclonal antibody (mAb) is an antibody produced from a cell lineage made by cloning a unique white blood cell. They are identical immune proteins (antibodies) created in the lab to target specific antigens. Monoclonal antibodies are produced by fusing a single type of antibody-producing cell with a cancerous […]

What are Monoclonal Antibodies? Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are a class of antibodies that are derived from a single, cloned immune cell. Unlike polyclonal antibodies (derived from a mixture of different immune cells), mAbs originate from a single B-cell clone, ensuring uniformity in their specificity and action. This unique attribute renders […]
