Preface Antibodies are important tools that are used extensively in basic biomedical research, in diagnostics, and in the treatment of diseases. Traditionally, the production of antibodies relies on the immunization of an animal. For example, for the generation of monoclonal antibodies by the hybridoma technology, usually mice and rats are preferred. For polyclonal antibody production, larger mammals (e.g., rabbits, sheep, and goats) are used as the relatively huge amount of serum that can be collected from these animals serves as a rich source for antibody purification. These antibodies are all based on an immunoglobulin scaffold and are derived from a genuine in vivo immune response. Despite their widespread applications
