Rabbit monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are proteins that are derived from a single antibody-producing cell line. They can be used for a variety of purposes, including diagnostics, drug development, and research. Custom rabbit monoclonal antibodies are especially helpful in research because they can be directed against specific molecules, making them easier to study. Additionally, mAbs can be produced in a faster and more accurate manner than traditional antibodies.
What is the RABBIT test used for?
This test is used to identify antibodies against specific cells, toxins, or other foreign substances. It can be used to detect antibodies that may be causing disease, such as in cases of suspected autoimmune disease. It can also be used as a diagnostic tool for determining if a person has an antibody specific for a certain substance, such as Lyme disease, or cancer.
The test works by isolating the cells that produce these antibodies from the person being tested. The isolated mAb-producing cells are then processed and exposed to different antigens or other molecules containing these antigens. If any of these antigens bind with mAb-producing cells, they will be captured by an enzyme that is specific for the antibody.
The captured antigens are then measured to determine if there has been any change in the amount of antibodies produced in response to exposure to these antigens.If testing shows that levels of antibodies have changed, it can help provide insights into what might be causing the problem.
