| Definitions |
An antibody reagent produced by clonal hybridoma cells deriving from the fusion of a single activasted B-cell with a neoplastic cell, such that antibodies isolated from such cells are monospecific for a single epitope. A collection of such antibodies has specificity for a single epitopes on its target antigen - versus a collection of 'polyclonal antibodies', which recognize various different epitopes. But at the structural level of the individual molecular reagent, there is of course no distinction between mono- and poly-clonal antibodies. |
