You are designing a fast assay system for detecting flu virus in patients. You hope to send these tests to clinics in far-flung regions of the globe so they can conduct surveillance on influenza epidemics. The kits will need to remain functional for several years. What type of antibody will you choose?
Two kinds of custom antibodies are available -- monoclonal or polyclonal. Polyclonal antibodies respond to a mixture of epitopes from the injected antigenic material; monoclonal antibodies are from a hybridoma strain created from a single B lymphocyte, and thus respond to a single specific epitope.
