There are four monoclonal antibodies (MAB) which specifically recognize double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) together with their use in new methods for detecting and characterizing dsRNA in unfractionated nucleic acid extracts. The specificity of the antibodies was analyzed using a panel of 27 different synthetic and naturally occurring nucleic acids. All four antibodies reacted in a highly specific manner with long dsRNA helices, irrespective of their sequence; no binding to single-stranded RNA homopolymers or to DNA or RNA-DNA hybrids were observed.

Monoclonal antibodies

A monoclonal antibody (mAb, more rarely called moAb) is an antibody made by cloning a unique white blood cell. All subsequent antibodies derived this way trace back to a unique parent cell.

Monoclonal antibodies can have monovalent affinity, binding only to the same epitope (the part of an antigen that is recognized by the antibody). In contrast, polyclonal antibodies bind to multiple epitopes and are usually made by several different antibody-secreting plasma cell lineages. Bispecific monoclonal antibodies can also be engineered, by increasing the therapeutic targets of one monoclonal antibody to two epitopes.

When ice freezes, the water around it becomes saltier and colder. _______, it's density increases.

DENIUS [597]

Answer A seems like the best choice for this question. Just think about some of the synonyms for therefore—”hence,” “consequently,” and “thus.” Because the adverb therefore often plays the role of a conjunction, it's sometimes called a conjunctive adverb.

B isn’t the correct answer to this question because you use “On the other hand” to introduce two contrasting points, facts, or ways of looking at something.

C isn’t the correct answer because we are not comparing or contrasting anything in this sentence.

D isn’t the correct answer because “Especially” is used in a formal sentence example: She can't be sure she will win, especially at this early stage of the campaign.
