This nomenclature is also used for fagments of monoclonal antibodies, such as antigen binding fagments and single-chain variable fagments. Complete List of Stems for Monoclonal Antibody only at high stimulation frequencies of 30–50Hz [16]. Since this test is very painful, nowadays a test with two individual supramaximal stimuli is preferred before and after a 10–20s muscle Medical use of Antibodies.
