Antibodies Form Hcg Monoclonal Make Pregnant Women Grown

Front how hCG forms in pregnant women, what are monoclonal antibodies and how are they grown?
Back embryo implants into uturus and site of the developing placenta starts to form hCG, which is present in the mothers blood/urine

  • antibodies from single clone of cells formed to target particular cells/chemicals in body
  • mouse injected with hCG to form antibody, B-cells that make required antibody removed and fused with myeloma (cancer cell that divides rapidly) to form hybridoma, hybridoma reproduces rapidly forming clones that can make the antibody, the monoclonal antibodies collected
