Show transcript
Monoclonal antibodies recognise a specific target, such as an antigen or other biological molecule.
Monoclonal antibodies are produced by combining a lymphocyte and a tumour cell to produce a hybridoma.
The hybridoma divides to make many copies of this single clone, which make monoclonal antibodies.
Monoclonal antibodies are used to detect pathogen antigens & molecules associated with pregnancy, blood clots & cancer.
Monoclonal antibodies can be attached to radioactive and toxic substances to treat diseased cells, e.g. tumour cells.
