Monoclonal Antibody and its Application in Studying Arthropod Predation

Abstract

Abstract: To date, monoclonal antibodies have been applied in various fields of biology,biochemistry and medicine for the purpose of examination, quantitative analysis, classification andpurification of various active materials. Monoclonal antibodies have been used for studyingarthropod predation for less than ten years, which has been scarcely reported. Previous studiesshowed that monoclonal antibodies are invaluable tools for studying arthropod predation, and the uses of monoclonal antibodies as molecular probes for examining predator gutcontents can significantly enhance the way we study arthropod predation. The property,development method and application of monoclonal antibodies for studying arthropod predationwere introduced in this paper.

Key words: Pinus armandii, ozone, radial structure, open-top chamber, dendrochronology, wood anatomy.
