Monoclonal antibodies
● A single type of antibodies having the same antigenic determinant
produced by a single hybridoma clone is called as monoclonal antibody .
● The hybridoma is made by fusing a lymphocyte ( B cell ) with a myeloma
cell.
● Monoclonal antibodies were first made by Milstein et al in 1973
● They are used in the diagnosis and treatment of severe diseases.
● They are also used in screening specific protein .
Production of monoclonal antibodies :
application
The four types of applications are:
(1) Diagnostic Applications
(2) Therapeutic Applications
(3) Protein Purification and
(4) Miscellaneous Applications.
1. Diagnostic Applications:
Monoclonal antibodies have revolutionized the laboratory diagnosis of various diseases. For this
purpose, MAbs may be employed as diagnostic reagents for biochemical analysis or as tools for
diagnostic imaging of diseases.
(A) MAbs in Biochemical Analysis:
Diagnostic tests based on the use of MAbs as reagents are routinely used in radioimmunoassay (RIA)
and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) in the laboratory. These assays measure the
circulating concentrations of hormones (insulin, human chorionic gonadotropin, growth hormone,
progesterone, thyroxine, triiodothyronine, thyroid stimulating hormone, gastrin, renin), and several
other tissue and cell products (blood group antigens, blood clotting factors, interferon’s, interleukins,
histocompatibility antigens, tumor markers). In recent years, a number of diagnostic kits using MAbs
have become commercially available. For instance, it is now possible to do the early diagnosis of the
following condition

Pregnancy:
Pregnancy by detecting the urinary levels of human chorionic gonadotropin.
Cancers:
Cancers estimation of plasma carcinoembryonic antigen in colorectal cancer, and prostate specific
antigen for prostate cancer. Besides diagnosis, estimation of tumor markers is also useful for the
prognosis of cancers. That is a gradual fall in a specific tumor marker is observed with a reduction in
tumor size, following treatment.
Infectious diseases: infectious diseases by detecting the circulatory levels of antigens specific to the
infectious agent e.g., antigens of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and herpes simplex virus for the diagnosis of
sexually transmitted diseases.
Mabs in diagnostic imaging:
● Radiolabeled—MAbs are used in the diagnostic imaging of diseases, and
this technique is referred to as immunoscintigraphy. The radioisotopes
commonly used for labeling MAb are iodine—131 and technetium—99.
The MAb tagged with radioisotope are injected intravenously into the
patients.
● These MAbs localize at specific sites (say a tumor) which can be detected
by imaging the radioactivity. In recent years, single photon emission
computed tomography (SPECT) cameras are used to give a more sensitive
three dimensional appearance of the spots localized by radiolabeled—
MAbs.
Cancers:
● Monoclonal antibodies against many types of human cancers are now available. A
selected list of tumor markers (along with the associated cancers) that can be used for
MAb imaging is given in Table 17.2. Tumors can be located in patients using
radioisotope labeled MAbs specific to the protein(s), particularly of membrane origin.
● It has been possible to detect certain cancers at early stages (lung cancer, breast
cancer, ovariran cancer, malanoma, colorectal cancer) by employing MAbs. About 80
per cent specificity has been achieved for detecting cancers by this approach.
● An iodine (131l) labeled monoclonal antibody specific to breast cancer cells when
administered to the patients detects (by imaging) the spread of cancer (metastasis) to
other regions of the body. This is not possible by scanning techniques.
