Monoclonal antibodies can be used to protect against disease, help diagnose a wide variety of illnesses and detect the presence of drugs or viral and bacterial products. It is these specific traits that make it so valuable.
monocial antibody technology has become an important tool in biochemistry, molecular biology and medicine.Monoclonal antibodies have monovalent affinity, in that they bind to the same epitope.
