ABSTRACT

Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) reacting with human immunoglobulin (Ig) may be used for detection or quantitation of Ig in serum and biological fluids. In addition to this, these MAbs make the identification and isolation of anti-viral or anti-bacterial antibodies of a given class possible. The purification of human antibodies or Ig can also be resolved by using the immunoaffinity chromatography with these rat MAbs.
