2. Polyclonal antibodies - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyclonal_antibodies

   Polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) are antibodies that are secreted by different B cell lineages within the body (whereas monoclonal antibodies come from a single cell lineage). They are a collection of immunoglobulin molecules that react against a specific antigen , each identifying a different epitope .

3. Polyclonal B cell response - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyclonal_B_cell_response

   Hence the term "polyclonal", which derives from the words poly, meaning many, and clones from Greek klōn, meaning sprout or twig; [3] [4] [5] a clone is a group of cells arising from a common "mother" cell. The antibodies thus produced in a polyclonal response are known as polyclonal antibodies.

4. Anti-immunoglobulin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-immunoglobulin

   Clonal antibodies can either be monoclonal or polyclonal. Monoclonal antibodies are clones of one antibody; therefore, monoclonal antibodies can only bind to one target. Polyclonal antibodies are clones of multiple antibodies and immune cells, so they can bind to various targets. [4] Recombinant clonal antibodies are produced through in-vitro ...

5. Antiserum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiserum

   In immunology, antiserum is a blood serum containing antibodies (either monoclonal or polyclonal) that is used to spread passive immunity to many diseases via blood donation (plasmapheresis). For example, convalescent serum , passive antibody transfusion from a previous human survivor, used to be the only known effective treatment for ebola ...

6. Clone (cell biology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clone_(cell_biology)

   Clonality implies the state of a cell or a substance being derived from one source or the other. Thus there are terms like polyclonal—derived from many clones; oligoclonal [2] —derived from a few clones; and monoclonal—derived from one clone. These terms are most commonly used in context of antibodies or immunocytes.

7. Coombs test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coombs_test

   Since these antibodies sometimes destroy red blood cells they can cause anemia; this test can help clarify the condition. The indirect Coombs test detects antibodies that are floating freely in the blood. [1] These antibodies could act against certain red blood cells; the test can be carried out to diagnose reactions to a blood transfusion. [1]
