IMMUNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Monoclonal antibodies (mAb or moAb) are monospecific antibodies that have the ability to bind to the same epitope[1]. These antibodies are made by homogeneous hybrid cells (B cells) that are each clones of the same origin parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Special molecules termed “monoclonal antibodies” can be obtained from cells grown in the laboratory, and it is these reagents that are useful in research and hospital laboratory diagnostic tests. This is because monoclonal antibodies are very specific for their intended targets.

Detailed explanation-3: -MAbs are most frequently used because of their homogeneous nature and high specificity; however, PAbs have also been used as catalytic antibodies.
