title: Monoclonal antibodies and the haemostasis laboratory: current position.
abstract: In recent years research laboratories have produced a wide variety of monoclonal antibodies to haemostatic proteins. While these have proven very useful in fundamental research they have not, as yet, been widely used as routine reagents. This article reviews the range of monoclonal antibodies currently available and discusses their potential applications in routine laboratory practice.
