- Hybridoma technology involves fusing antibody-producing B cells with myeloma cancer cells to form immortal hybridoma cell lines capable of producing monoclonal antibodies. - Cesar Milstein and Georges Kohler invented the technique of producing monoclonal antibodies in 1975, winning the 1984 Nobel Prize for their work. - The key steps are immunizing an animal like a mouse with an antigen, fusing its spleen B cells with myeloma cells using polyethylene glycol, and culturing the hybridomas in HAT media which selects for cells expressing the desired antibody by killing off other cell types.
