Monoclonal vs. polyclonal antibodies: How to choose
Antibodies, or immunoglobulins, are glycoproteins that play a major role in the immune response. They are produced by plasma cells, which are cells derived from the differentiation of B lymphocytes. Each antibody has a binding site, called “paratope”, which ensures the specific recognition of the target antigen. The part of the antigen recognized by the paratope is called “epitope”.
