The Differences Between Monoclonal Antibodies

The trade-off with going to monoclonal is that you're only dealing by definition with one particular epitope, right? That's right. So for example, we have 11 different reagents to choose from when you're typing someone for D. And those 11 differentreagents react with a different epitope of the D antigen. But all that really tells you is not that you've made a mistake, though you should always go back and make sure you haven't made a mistake. It tells you, though, that there's something different about that person's D antigen.
