Dear colleagues,

The following Special Issue will be published in the Antibodies
(http://www.mdpi.com/journal/antibodies/, ISSN 2073-4468) and is now open
to receive submissions of full research papers and comprehensive review
articles for peer-review and possible publication:

Special Issue: Monoclonal Antibody Preparation against Natural Product
and Its Application
Website: http://www.mdpi.com/si/antibodies/monoclonal_antibody/
Guest Editors: Prof. Dr. Yukihiro Shoyama
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 August 2012

You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline.
Submitted papers should not have been published previously, nor be under
consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send
us their tentative title and short abstract by e-mail for approval to the
Editorial Office at antibodies@mdpi.com.

This Special Issue will be fully open access. Open access (unlimited and
free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent
citations as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the
authors and their institutes. More information is available at

Article Processing Charges (APC) are waived for well prepared
manuscripts. However, a fee of 250 CHF will apply if extensive
English corrections must be done by the editors. For details see:
