nomenclature of monoclonal antibodies

Did you ever have the vague sense that there was somebody out there with a random syllable generator making up those drug names like, you know, "fluvowikibab"? It turns out it's not random. It's for monoclonal antibodies, a system for stringing together funny syllables meaning things like "rat/murine hybrid".
