In this week's episode, we explore what monoclonal antibodies are, how they make things happen in the body, and how they can be used in medicine. We discuss how they can be used for identifying cells, delivering drugs to specific cells, or anything in between. Tune in to learn about monoclonal antibodies and hwo they relate to a cat who's a picky eater.
