Antibody nomenclature

[Bob Obar]

I try to use the term "site-directed antibodies," since the 
alternatives (such as "monovalent" or "monospecific") ARE confusing,
and they imply attributes of the antibodies that you probably 
haven't confirmed (or even tried to).  "Site-directed" is 
informative about the method of generation as well as the likely 
specificity.  Or am I wrong (or is there a better term)?
