MODEL RELEASED. Cell storage. A technician handles tubes of monoclonal antibody-producing cells stored in liquid nitrogen. Monoclonal antibodies are antibodies which all recognise the same substance. They are used in detecting viruses and other substances,for studying cell surface antigens,in tissue-typing and in research. Cells which produce monoclonal antibodies are formed when specific antibody-producing lymphocytes are fused with myeloma (tumour) cells. The resulting hybridoma cells can divide indefinitely and continuously produce monoclonal antibodies. The hybridomas are cold-stored in liquid nitrogen and can be removed when their products are required | |
