The statements below describe how monoclonal antibodies are produced. Write numbers in the boxes to show the order of the statements.
The hybridoma cell is cloned to make many copies – all of these cells can produce the antibodies.
Lymphocytes are combined with a tumour cell to produce a hybridoma cell.
A large amount of antibodies can be collected and purified.
The hybridoma cell can divide and produce the antibody.
