What is a characteristic of monoclonal antibodies? They are produced by different antibody-producing cells and are specific for different epitopes of antigen. They are produced by a single antibody-producing cell and are specific for one epitope of antigen. They are produced by a single antibody-producing cell and are specific for different epitopes of antigen. They are produced by different antibody-producing cells and are specific for one epitope of antigen. They are precursors of polyclonal antibodies.

What is the difference between monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies? How are each type of antibody made? Describe how monoclonal antibodies can be used to generate CAR-T cells. What sort of recombinant DNAs would be made to get this therapy?

What is an antibody? Elaborate on the structure (variable, constant, heavy, light, monomer, dimer, etc) and the function of the five classes of antibodies. Finally describe where these different classes of antibodies are found in our immune system if relatively unique. Why are antibody-antigen interactions important in the clinic (not just blood typing) and in research? How can the agglutination technique be used to assess blood types? Give specific examples
