title: Monoclonal antibodies: a new tool for research and immunodiagnostics.
abstract: Monoclonal antibodies produced by continuous cultures of lymphocyte hybrids have brought a completely new dimension to immunology and immunochemistry. Antibodies that react specifically with differentiation markers on various cell types, with virus strains and even with highly cross-reactive HLA antigens are now available for diagnostic purposes as well as for research.
