hybridoma technology for production of monoclonal antibodies
... Hybridomas are cells that have been engineered to produce a desired antibody in large amounts. To produce monoclonal antibodies, Bcells are removed from the spleen of an animal that has been challenged with the relevant antigen. These B-cells are then fused with myeloma tumor cells that can grow ind ...

Acquired immunity, found only in vertebrates, is a set of defenses that are activated only after exposure to pathogens. Any foreign molecule that elicits an acquired immune ...
