The most widely used tests are serologies, which measure levels of specific antibodies in a patient's blood.

Monoclonal antibodies specific to the p24 protein are mixed with the person's blood.

The main limitation is the availability of specific monoclonal antibodies required by the model.

The protein of interest is isolated with a specific antibody.

The mere presence of specific antibodies cannot protect anyone against any illness.

A sample is treated with a primary antibody specific for the molecule of interest.

What we need is a specific antibody to the bacteria.

According to the researchers, highly specific antibodies have ensured that the technique is a success.

Since this particular type of bacteria had not been encountered before, there were no specific antibodies circulating.

Then, a further specific antibody is applied over the surface so it can bind to the antigen.
