What are polyclonal antibodies?
A Monoclonal antibody, by contrast, comes from a single antibody producing B cell and therefore only binds with one unique epitope. Each individual antibody in a polyclonal mixture is technically a monoclonal antibody; however, this term generally refers to a process by which the actual B-cell is isolated and fused to an immortal hybridoma cell line so that large quantities of identical antibody can be generated.
Monoclonal antibodies vs Polyclonal antibodies
How to choose an antibody for your research? Monoclonal antibodies or polyconal antibodies, that is a problem. You need to consider their characteristics and your experiment requirements before making the decision.
The following are the advantages and disadvantages of monoclonal antibodies when they are compared with polyclonal antibodies.
