Monoclonal Antibodies

Monoclonal antibodies (mAb or moAb) are derived from a single B-cell parent clone and therefore only recognize a single epitope per antigen.

These B-cells are immortalized by fusion with hybridoma cells, allowing for long-term generation of identical monoclonal antibodies.

Monoclonal antibodies specifically detect a particular epitope on the antigen and therefore are less likely than polyclonal antibodies to cross-react with other proteins.

IBL-America offers a wide range of monoclonal antibodies that can be used in the research and development of multiple laboratory testing applications.
