How to make a hybridoma

Abstract

The use of monoclonal antibodies produced by the hybridoma technique has had a profound impact on the biological and medical sciences. While the general technique for the production of monoclonal antibodies is available from the numerous papers which report their use, there is a need for a source which describes the procedure and its pitfalls in detail so that an investigator who decides to make hybridomas can do so quickly and easily. This guide provides such a source.
