Monoclonal Antibody

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are a type of engineered antibody produced from a single B-cell clone, which can be used to target and bind to a particular antigen. This makes them useful research tools as well as treatments for a variety of medical conditions in humans and animals, such as cancer, autoimmune diseases and inflammation. They have shown potential for clinical use in targeted therapy, diagnostics, preventive medicine and regenerative medicine. mAbs are also used in research to analyse the structure and function of proteins, investigate signalling pathways and monitor metabolic pathways.
