Antibodies made from clones of a single type of cell
Antibodies made from different types of cells

Recap of antibodies
antibodies / antigens / destruction / lymphocytes
- Antibodies are small proteins produced by special white blood cells called B-.
- They bind to on the surface of foreign material, such as bacteria.
- This marks the foreign material for by our immune system.

Where are monoclonal antibodies made?
In pathogens
In a lab
Inside our body

Steps in producing monoclonal antibodies
purify / immune / plant / animal / hybridoma / monoclonal / petri
- Inject an , like a mouse, with the antigen that we want our antibodies to bind to.
- Let the animal develop an response, and then isolate some of their B-lymphocytes (which will produce the antibody we want).
- Combine those B-lymphocytes with fast-dividing tumour cells to form cells.
- Let these hybridoma cells divide rapidly in a dish.
- Collect and the antibodies they produce
