The high specificity of antibodies makes them an excellent tool for detecting and quantifying a broad array of targets, from drugs to serum proteins to microorganisms. With in vitro assays, antibodies can be used to precipitate soluble antigens, agglutinate cells, and neutralize drugs, toxins, and viruses.

Antibodies are the functional basis of humoral immunity. Antibodies occur in the blood, in gastric and mucus secretions, and in breast milk. Antibodies in these bodily fluids can bind pathogens and mark them for destruction by phagocytes before they can infect cells.

While effective for cancer treatment, the methods are costly. Humanized mAbs minimize immune reactions and show potential in therapies like Herceptin, but their high price restricts use against infectious diseases. Research is ongoing into using genetically engineered plants for mAb production to create more cost-effective clinical options.
