Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Monoclonal antibodies are antibodies (identical) produced by specialized immune cells. They are a derivative of cell division from a single parental cell. They have monovalent affinity that can attach with same epitope. They are used as a drug to treat arthritis, lupus, cancer, and so on.
