text: Monoclonal antibodies traditionally have been manufactured by exposing an animal subject, such as a mouse, to the antigen of interest; harvesting antibody-producing plasma cells from the subjects; selecting particular antibodies generated by particular plasma cells for their desirable characteristics; then fusing the selected plasma cells with tumor cells to produce cell lines called hybridomas.
