About Hybridomas
- A hybridoma is made when two different cells each have a useful property that, if combined would make an even more useful cells.
- Some hybridomas are used to create antibodies called monoclonal antibodies.
- To produce a hybridoma that makes monoclonal antibodies a lymphocyte, which has been made to produce a particular antibody, is combined with a cell from a tumour, which rapidly reproduces. This is ahybridoma which can reproduce rapidly and creates the antibody.
