Use of Liposomes Containing Carbohydrates for Production of Monoclonal Antibodies

关键词: use liposomes containing来源: 互联网

Monoclonal anticarbohydrate antibodies have been widely utilized for the study of expression, distribution, and function of carbohydrate determinants on a variety of cells and tissues (Table 1 ) (1 ). Functional analysis of glycolipids and glycoproteins has been greatly facilitated by the application of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal anticarbohydrate antibodies have been also utilized for expression cloning of glycosyltransferases and related genes (2 ,3 ).
