Q. Monoclonal antibodies are produced from which type of cells?
Solution:
- Monoclonals are a class of antibodies with identical offspring of a hybridoma and are very specific for a particular location in the body derived from a single clone and can be grown indefinitely.
- Those antibodies are named monoclonal because they come from only 1 type of cell, which is the hybridoma cell.
- Monoclonal antibodies are produced by fusion of myeloma cells (cancer cells) with antibody-producing cells, resulting in production of hybridomas.
