Hybridomas and Monoclonal Antibodies

This video guide, produced at the University of Pittsburgh Hybridoma Center, demonstrates the technical steps required for the successful production of antibodies: immunization and bleeding of mice, fusion of spleen cells and myeloma cells with PEG and DMSO, HAT selection and screening off positive cultures and growth of hybridoma lines. The demonstrations are accompanied by audio commentary on the procedures involved and their theoretical basis. (32 minutes)
