Phosphorylation of the recombinant protein was detected on western blots using mAb SMI-31.

A more direct approach is to use mAbs to target antigens directly to antigen-presenting cells.

Cell-based ELISA was established using mAb specific to HA.

I think whoever is backstage moving things around tried to use Mab and got more than they bargained for.

And since you can't swing a cat without hitting a cat's-paw lately, I think maybe someone was trying to use Mab for something.
