Photo by CDC from Pexels Antibodies are essential constituents of the immune system, combating infection and disease to defend the body. Understanding and researching the genetic makeup of these vital immune system components is critical in many diverse applications such as antibody engineering, functional optimization, database banking, and new antibody clones. As you might have guessed, there are different antibodies, such as monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal antibodies. The methods used in the production of these types vary. For example, the engineering and selection of monoclonal antibodies can occur through a technique referred to as the hybridoma technique. Suffice it to know that irrespective of the methods you employ and which specific antibody you intend to…
