What is IgM (Immunoglobulin M)?
What is the difference between bacteriostatic and bactericidal antibodies.

What is a self-antigen?
A process where immune cells are taken from an animal and combined with cancer cells to create a hybrid cell line that produces a large quantity of a specific type of antibody.
What is a monoclonal antibody?
A new antibiotic, in the a newly discovered class called macrocycles.
