monoclonal antibody

noun

plural monoclonal antibodies

: an antibody that is derived from the clone of a single B cell and that is produced in large quantities of identical cells possessing affinity for the same epitope on a specific antigen (as a cancer cell)

Note: Monoclonal antibodies are typically used in immunotherapy (such as in the treatment of autoimmune or inflammatory disorders and cancer), diagnostic testing, and cell identification and tracing. Hybridoma cell lines are typically employed to produce an unlimited supply of monoclonal antibodies.

Researchers studying this and other cancers have long sought to use monoclonal antibodies—biological molecules that bind only to particular target cells—to attack tumors directly or to shuttle toxins selectively to cancer cells.

R. Weiss

The ideal immunosuppressive monoclonal antibody would be one that abrogates responses to a defined antigen and preserves responses to all others.

Thomas A. Waldmann

The drug, which would be given by intravenous infusion every four weeks, is a monoclonal antibody that tamps down the immune system …

Andrew Pollack

—abbreviation Mab, mAb, MAB, mab
