Geek alert - Monoclonal antibody suffixes


This is a very specialised post so I don't expect anyone to really appreciate this but... I came across this figure in my internet travels and found it quite illuminating. These are the different types of monoclonal antibodies, ranging from fully human to fully not human. I knew that they all ended in '-mab', which means 'mono-clonal antibody' but I didn't realise that the couple of letter before the 'mab' also had further meaning. I just found that fascinating.
