Cells Tumour Hybridoma Antibodies Describe Process Producing Monoclonal

Monoclonal antibodies are produced by fusing mouse B-lymphocytes with tumor cells to form hybridomas, which are then cloned to yield identical antibody-producing cells.

Monoclonal antibodies are produced by fusing a mouse B-lymphocyte with a tumor cell to create a hybridoma, which is then cloned to generate identical antibody-producing cells.

Front Describe the process for producing monoclonal antibodies.
Back
  1. Tumour cells can be grown very easily
  2. Therefore a mouse B-lymphocyte is fused with a tumour cell to create a cell called hybridoma
  3. Hybridoma cells can be cloned to get lots of identical cells
  4. These cells produce the same antibodies
  5. The antibodies can be collected and purified
