Another example is the creation of hybridomas, hybrid cells created in the laboratory by fusing normal white blood cells that produce antibodies with a cancer cell. Researchers wanted to combine the cancer cells’ rapid growth and the normal cells’ ability to dictate the production of a single specific “monoclonal” antibody.
另一个例子是杂交瘤的创造，杂交瘤是一种实验室中产生的杂交细胞，它由产生抗体的普通白细胞和癌细胞溶合而成。研究者想结合癌细胞的快速增殖和普通细胞的能力，产生单一的具体“单克隆”（monoclonal）抗体。他们的目标是更多地研究细胞突变率和抗体多样性的产生。
