                    APPLICATIONS OF MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES

An antibody is a protein used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses. Each antibody recognizes a specific antigen unique to its target.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are antibodies that are identical because they were produced by one type of immune cell, all clones of a single parent cell.

Polyclonal antibodies are antibodies that are derived from different cell lines.

The application of monoclonal antibodies can be broadly categorized as:

a) Diagnostic application

b) Therapeutic application

c) Catalytic MAb (Abzymes)
