What are antibodies made of?

• Carbohydrate
• Protein
• Polysacchiaride
• Lipid

What is the first stage of producing monoclonal antibodies?

• Stimulating mouse lymphocytes to make an antibody
• collect spleen cells from a mouse
• Form hybridoma cells
• produce myeloma cells

What is a hybridoma cell?

• A particular antibody
• A B lymphocyte fused with a cancer cell
• An antibody fused with a lymphocyte
• None of the above

What are Monoclonal antibodies ?

• An antibody produced by the body.

• An antibody produced by a single clone of cells or cell line and consisting of identical antibody molecules.

• An antibody produced by a single clone of cells or cell line and consisting of many different antibody molecules.

• An antibody produced in a lab

A ..................................is an agent that causes disease – either a microorganism (bacteria, protist, fungi or parasite), virus

A small proportion of clones of B lymphocytes differentiate into long-lived ............................... cells that function to provide long-term immunity

............................... antibodies are antibodies artificially derived from a single B cell clone (i.e. identical specific antibodies)

The external defense systems, includes your skin, tears, mucus, saliva,

stomach acid, cilia (small hairs) and helpful bacteria.
