Question

The hybridoma cells are
  1. Cells of oncogenes and brain
  2. Hybrid activated B lymphocytes fused with myeloma cells
  3. Hybrid cells of oncogenes fused with myeloma cells
  4. Transformed cells

A
Transformed cells
B
Hybrid cells of oncogenes fused with myeloma cells
C
Cells of oncogenes and brain
D
Hybrid activated B lymphocytes fused with myeloma cells
Solution
Verified by Toppr

A hybridoma cell is produced in the laboratory from the fusion of an antibody-producing lymphocyte and a nonantibody-producing cancer cell, usually a myeloma or lymphoma. It proliferates and produces a continuous supply of a specific monoclonal antibody.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
