Antibodies are natural proteins that the vertebrate immune system forms in response to foreign substances (antigens), primarily for defense against infection. For over a century, antibodies have been induced in animals under artificial conditions and harvested for use in therapy or diagnosis of disease conditions, or for biological research. Each individual antibody producing cell produces a single type of antibody with a chemically defined composition, however, antibodies obtained directly from animal serum in response to antigen inoculation actually comprise an ensemble of non-identical molecules (e.g., polyclonal antibodies) made from an ensemble of individual antibody producing cells.
