hybridoma
Antibody factory cell
A hybridoma is a cell created by fusing a cancer cell with an antibody-producing immune cell.
The hybrid inherits immortality from the cancer cell and antibody production from the immune cell, allowing indefinite manufacture of identical antibodies.
Hybridomas are essential tools in biomedical research and drug development for producing monoclonal antibodies.
