Monoclonal Antibodies in Vaccine Production -Antibodies have also been used to immunize against certain diseases in humans and cattles. The most promising outcome in this area is the prospect of developing antimalarial vaccine in the near future.

Monoclonal antibodies that inhibit the in vitro multiplication of Plasmodium, and the antigametocyte antibodies that inactivate male gametes have been developed.
