What are the advantages monoclonal antibodies offer over normal antisera?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More effective: Before Milstein developed the concept of monoclonal antibodies derived from a fused B cell with myeloma cell (hybidoma) all antibodies were polyclonal. They were derived from injecting protein into a horse or cow and extracting the serum which contained antibodies against foreign organisms, and food products. Activity was poor. Monoclonals are now genetically engineered as human and functional
