Question

Why did the traditional method produce heterogeneous antibodies?

Options

• The myeloma cells produce only one specific antibody

• The urine contains specific pregnancy hormones

• The animal's cells produce a variety of different antibodies

• The hybridoma cells grow and divide continuously

Answer 1

The animal's cells produce a variety of different antibodies after hyper-immunisation. Therefore, the extracted serum contains heterogeneous, or mixed, antibodies.
