Detailed explanation-1: -Hybridoma technology produces monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specific to antigens. These cell lines can also be cryopreserved for a long period of time. Hybridoma technology has resulted in the production of a variety of different monoclonal antibodies with specificity for a specific antigen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hybridoma cells resulting from the fusion of B lymphocytes and myeloma cells produce specific monoclonal antibodies.
Detailed explanation-3: -These antibodies are produced by cell lines or clones obtained from animals that have been immunized with the substance that is the subject of study. The cell lines are produced by fusing B cells from the immunized animal with myeloma cells (Köhler and Milstein 1975).
