Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect.

Monoclonal antibodies are laboratory-made proteins that mimic the behaviour of antibodies produced by the immune system to protect against diseases and foreign substances.

An antibody attaches itself to an antigen – a foreign substance, usually a disease-causing molecule – and helps the immune system eliminate it from the body.

Monoclonal antibodies are specifically designed to target certain antigens.

Glycoproteins are one of the major components of viruses that cause diseases in humans.
