What is the difference between anti-human and anti-mouse antibodies?
Posted April 24, 2020
Answer
Anti-human antibodies are effective for detecting human antibodies, while anti-mouse antibodies are effective for detecting mouse antibodies. While different antibodies may be reactive towards the same type of antigen (eg. anti-human CD45 and anti-mouse CD45 antibodies), they are most specific for the species that they were raised against.
