antibody classification - (Nov/18/2007 )

Hello to all,

Is there any way an monoclonal antibody can be both IgM and IgG?

thanks in advance for your answers

I don't think so...

Monoclonal antibody is produced from a single clone of hybridoma.
If the clone is IgG, then all hybridoma in this clone will produce IgG monoclonal antibody.

Hope this may help.
