Most antigens have many antibody binding sites‚ or epitopes. Therefore‚ many different antibodies may bind to any one antigen. Monoclonal antibodies are specific for only one antigen epitope. Epitope specificity brings several advantages including dose response predictability and uniformity of batches. In 1975 Kohler and Milstein developed a process that produced monoclonal antibody. The generation of monoclonal antibodies requires a living organism‚ normally‚ a mouse. The first step in monoclonal

Metoprolol Metoprolol is a beta-Adrenergic blocking agent. Beta receptors are part of the sympathetic nervous system and are found on cells of the heart‚ smooth muscles‚ in airways‚ arteries and kidneys. Associated with stress response‚ they are stimulated by epinephrine. Beta blockers interfere with the binding of epinephrine at the receptors. Metoprolol works by inhibiting the response to adrenergic stimuli by blocking beta one adrenergic receptors within the myocardium. (Hoffman‚ Jones
