Biotechnology Paper Biotechnology products are the yield of engineering labors that process biological material and agents to produce a modified biological substance. Examples of biotechnology drugs are monoclonal antibodies and recombinant DNA. Monoclonal antibodies are important reagents in the treatment and diagnosis of disease. They have been used for diagnosis of pregnancy‚ detection of presence and concentration of drugs in the blood‚ histocompatibility assay‚ and detecting shed tumor antigens
