Production of a monoclonal antibody against chicken immunoglobulin G: A valuable molecule with research and diagnostic applications.

Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) are invaluable molecules which have several advantages over polyclonal immunoglobulins (Igs) including consistency and higher specificity and hence can be used in biological researches, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The present study was conducted to produce monoclonal antibody against chicken IgG. The IgG molecules were purified from chicken serum and used as antigens to immunize several mice.
