Title: Antibodies: will their star continue to rise?

Antibodies are having a huge impact in basic and translational research, but they are also in crisis. Francesca Lake investigates.

Since the 1970s when Köhler and Milstein produced hybridoma monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) through the fusion of antibody-producing mouse spleen cells with an immortal myeloma cell line, multiple research projects have utilized antibodies and it has been estimated that there are over 300 companies offering 2 million antibodies for research purposes.
