These are monospecific antibodies derived from one cell line. They have monovalent affinity towards the same epitope and are generally produced by fusing myeloma cells with the spleen cells from a mouse that has been immunized with the desired antigen.
Polyclonal antibodies are obtained from different B cell resources. They consist of a combination of immunoglobulin molecules secreted against a specific antigen in which each identifies a different epitope. Production of polyclonal antibodies involves the inoculation of an antigen into a suitable animal, such as mouse, rabbit or goat. Currently we offer polyclonal antibody production from rabbit and chicken.
