Polyclonal antibodies
Monoclonal antibodies
Inexpensive to produce
Expensive to produce
Technology required is low
High technology required
Skills required are low
Training is required for the technology use
Time scale is short
Time scale is long for hybridomas
Produces large amounts of non specific antibodies
Can produce large amounts of specific antibodies but may be too specific
Recognizes multiple epitopes on any one antigen
Recognizes only one epitope on an antigen
Can be batch to batch variability
Once a hybridoma is made it is a constant and renewable source and all batches will be identical

What is the main difference between a coomassie stain and a western blot?
In coomassie staining, a dye binds to all proteins, visualizing all of them. In this way, it's nonspecific. The dye diffuses into the the original gel. In a western, an antibody binds specifically to one or more proteins, making it specific for proteins to which the antibody can bind. In order for the antibody to access the proteins from the original gel, they are moved (blotted) to the surface of a membrane (usually nitrocellulose).

What is the different between polyclonal antibody and antiserum?
polyclonal antobody is the antibody produced for many or non specific antigens but antiserum is the antibody for a specific antigen
Are chickenpox antibody and shingles antibody the same?
Chickenpox and shingles result from the same virus, and generate the same antibodies. There is no difference between chickenpox antibody and shingles antibody, and there is only one test (varicella virus antibody) for both.

What is the difference between an antibody and a B cell receptor?
Antibodies lack a transmembrane domain.
What Is the difference between antigen binding site and paratope?
Antigen binding site or epitope is a part of an antigen that is recognized by the antibody. Paratope is a part of an antibody that binds on epitope.
What is the difference between opsonization and neutralization?
Opsonization involves an antibody binding to a pathogen itself while neutralizing invovles an antibody binding to a toxin, AKA something the pathogen produces.
What is the difference between alloimmunization and isoimmunization?
the autoimmune reaction is the reaction between the antibody and antigene when both come from the same body but the isoimmune reaction is between the antigene and antibody produced for the same antigene ( the same according to the type but not the immunity )

What is the difference between antibody and immunogloulin?
Antibodies are secreted (plasma cells), while immunoglobulins are membrane-bound (naive B cells).
What is the relationship between antigen and antibody?
Basically to explain this, an antigen is any type of pathogen that causes disease, while an antibody is something that combats against the antigen.
