Why are white blood cells fused with cancer cells to produce hybridomas?

because these cell also produced huge amount of antibodies for defense against disease. for example the cancer cell and the white cell. it produces antibodies

The form of cancer that affects the tissues that produce blood is called?
The form of cancer that affects the tissues that produce blood is called leukemia. Leukemia is a type of cancer that originates in the bone marrow, where blood cells are produced. It affects the white blood cells primarily, but it can also impact other types of blood cells, including red blood cells and platelets. Leukemia results in the abnormal proliferation of immature blood cells, leading to overcrowding in the bone marrow and impairing the production of normal blood cells.
If the following steps are used to produce monoclonal antibodies What is the fourth step?
1. A mouse is injected with a specific antigen that will induce antibodies against that antigen.2. The spleen of the mouse is removed and homogenized into a cell suspension. The suspension includes B cells that produce antibodies against the injected antigen.3. The spleen cells are mixed with myeloma cells that are capable of continuous growth in culture but have lost the ability to produce antibodies. ( Some of the antibody producing spleen cells and myeloma cells fuse to form hybrid cells. These hybrid cells are now capable of growing continuously in culture while producing antibodies.4. The mixture of cells is placed in a selective medium that allows only hybrid cells to grow.5. Hybrid cells proliferate into clones called hybridomas. The hybridomas are screened for production of the desired antibody.6. The selected hybridomas are then cultured to produce large quantities of monoclonal antibodies.
Does muscle tissue produce red blood cells?
No, muscle tissue doesn't produce any blood cells.
Does the thymus produce red blood cells?
No. Your thymus is lymphoid organ. It does not produce the red blood cells.
Why is essential thrombocythemia classed as a cancer when there are no cancer cells?
Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is classified as a cancer when there are no cancer cells because of the increase of white blood cells. This persistent elevated blood count indicates the bodies reaction to intrusion, but of an unknown variety.
What is a cancer of the cells that produce white blood cells?
Leukemia
What type of cancer originates in tissues that produce white blood cells?
zoophilia

How plants produce blood cells?
Plants do not have blood so they do not produce blood cells.
What gets mutated when someone gets cancer?
Well. Cancer is basically cells that rapidly grow and crowd out useful cells. It all depends where the cancer is. If it's a tumor, it can be anywhere in the body. So if one has a tumor in the leg, it is a bunch of cells that rapidly produce that can prevent useful cells from doing their duty. Another type of cancer is leukemia, blood cancer. Nothing gets mutated, but white blood cells are rapidly produced, crowding out the red blood cells and platelets. I hope this helps.

How do blood vessels help cancer cells to multiply?
Without oxygen and nutrients, the cell will die. So it needs to grow it's own blood supply to survive. This is called angiogenesis. The cancer cells may be able to stimulate normal cells to produce angiogenic factors to help produce new blood vessels. Scientists researching how tumours grow think that a cancer can't grow much bigger than a pin head before it needs to develop its own blood supply.
Does muscle tissue produce red blood cells?
No, muscle tissue doesn't produce any blood cells.
Does the thymus produce red blood cells?
No. Your thymus is lymphoid organ. It does not produce the red blood cells.
Why does cancer grow out of control?
cancer cells it produce an enzyme (telomerase) that make cells dividing uncontrolled.
Why do some cancer medications sometimes weaken the immune system of cancer patients?
The radiation kills bone marrow, where both red and white blood cells are made. The white blood cells produce most of the immune system, with fewer white blood cells the immune system weakens.
What stimulates the kidney to produce red blood cells?
Kidney do NOT produce red blood cells (bone marrow does).
