Using monoclonal antibodies to investigate molecular immunology: there's more to know!

Published in: Immunology (2019)
The study of cellular and molecular immunology is almost completely dependent on monoclonal antibody technology. Despite the relatively long history of monoclonal antibodies, there is still huge potential for developing novel and transformative uses for this technology. In this issue of Immunology, we present two such papers, one focussing on anti-complement (C5) antibodies, the other on anti-CD6-specific antibodies. Both manuscripts describe novel ways that monoclonal antibodies may be used for scientific and potentially for therapeutic benefit.
