Abstract:
The diversity, specificity, and biologic activity of antibodies make them potentially ideal reagents in the clinic and the laboratory, but conventional antibodies do not always fill the bill. Naturally occurring antibodies are heterogeneous, and human hybridoma antibodies are hard to produce. Genetic engineering techniques offer antibodies with just the properties desired.
