Question

Term hybridoma implies

• A. DNA-RNA hybrid
• B. Recombination of DNA molecules
• C. Somatic hybridisation
• D. Gametic fusion

Answer 1

The correct option is C Somatic hybridisation

Hybridoma is a somatic cell hybrid formed by fusion of normal lymphocytes and tumor (lymphoma) cells. B cell hybridomas are the most useful source of monoclonal antibodies; the hybridoma cells are able to produce antibody like the normal parent and proliferate indefinitely in culture like the parent tumor cells

So, the correct answer is 'Somatic hybridisation'
