Revise: Antibody ApplicationsAn antibody is a protein that binds to a particular target because their shapes fit. Monoclonal antibodies are identical copies made from a single clone of cells. Each binds to one specific binding site on one protein antigen.
For an unfamiliar test or treatment, identify the antibody’s target, explain what binds to it, then link that binding to the result.
