This document discusses monoclonal antibodies, including their history, production via hybridoma technology, types, applications, and FDA-approved examples. It describes how monoclonal antibodies are produced by fusing B cells from immunized mice with myeloma cells to create hybridomas that produce identical antibodies targeting a specific antigen. This technology was developed in 1975 by Kohler and Milstein, earning them a Nobel Prize. Monoclonal antibodies have various diagnostic and therapeutic uses due to their specificity and homogeneity.
An antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large, Y-shaped protein produced mainly by plasma cells that is used by the immune system to neutralize pathogens such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses.
Monoclonal antibodies are important reagents used in biomedical research, in diagnosis of diseases, and in treatment of such diseases as infections and cancer.
These antibodies are produced by cell lines or clones obtained from animals that have been immunized with the substance that is the subject of study.

Students of medical and allied subjects must be exposed to the concept of monoclonal antibodies for the efficient practice of clinical and laboratory medicine.
Hybridoma technology is a method for producing large numbers of identical antibodies (also called monoclonal antibodies). This process starts by injecting a mouse (or other mammals) with an antigen that provokes an immune response.

Humanization by CDR-grafting consists in transferring parental (commonly rodent) complementarity determining regions (CDR) into human framework (FR) regions. Parental antibody specificity and affinity are conserved thanks to the preservation of residues implicated in antigen binding. BIOTEM uses a validated and modernized version of the classical CDR-grafting technology.
Developing vaccines against infectious and epidemic diseases with the aid of Bioinformatics is now possible, by predicting epitopes on an antigen and finding possible targets for the antibody to bind. A new era of vaccine production is just ahead of us.

Literature Review on Development of Monoclonal Antibodies and Hybridoma Techn...Tuhin Samanta
Antibodies or immunoglobulin's are protein particles delivered by a specific gathering of cells called B-lymphocytes in creatures. These are a piece of the guard framework to ensure the body against the attacking outside substances to be specific antigens.
Monoclonal immunizer (Mab) is a solitary sort of neutralizer that is coordinated against a particular antigenic determinant (epitope). Eternal monoclonal counter acting agent are found in patients experiencing an infection called different myeloma. In 1975 George Kohler and Cesar Milstein were effectively hybridize counter acting agent delivering B-lymphocytes with myeloma cells in vitro and make a hybridoma. The creation of monoclonal immune response by half and half cells is alluded to as hybridoma innovation.
BIOTECHNOLOGY IS
CHALLENGING SUBJECT TO TEACH AND UNDERSTAND ......
ITS A VERY INTERESTING TO LEARN ABOUT HYBRIDOMA TECHNOLOGY .. THEIR PRODUCTION AND
APPLICATION ALSO ....
Monoclonal antibodies (mAb or moAb) are antibodies that are made by identical immune cells that are all clones of a unique parent cell. Monoclonal antibodies can have monovalent affinity, in that they bind to the same epitope (the part of an antigen that is recognized by the antibody). In contrast, polyclonal antibodies bind to multiple epitopes and are usually made by several different plasma cell (antibody secreting immune cell) lineages. Bispecific monoclonal antibodies can also be engineered, by increasing the therapeutic targets of one single monoclonal antibody to two epitopes. Given almost any substance, it is possible to produce monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to that substance; they can then serve to detect or purify that substance. This has become an important tool in biochemistry, molecular biology, and medicine. When used as medications, non-proprietary drug names end in -mab and many immunotherapy specialists use the word mab anacronymically.
Immunity
It can be defined as the resistance to disease, specifically to infectious disease or pathogens. The term “immune” is derived from the Latin word “immunis” that is exempt from charges. In medical term, it refers to the being protected from infectious pathogens.
Immune system
It is adaptive defense system which is able to generate a variety of cell and molecules capable of specifically recognizing and eliminating a variety of limitless foreign invaders into the system.
In 1975 Georges Kohler and Milstein succeeded in making fusions of myeloma cell lines with B cells to create hybridomas that could produce antibodies.
antibody
Also known as immunoglobulin is a large, Y shaped glycoprotein produced mainly by plasma cells that is used by the immune system to neutralize pathogens.
monoclonal antibodies
Antibodies that are made by identical immune cells that are clones of a unique parent cell.
polyclonal antibodies
A polyclonal antibodies represents a collection of antibodies from different B cells that recognize multiple epitopes on the same antigen.
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are secreted by B cells (plasma cells) to neutralize antigens such as bacteria and viruses. The classical representation of an antibody is a Y-shaped molecule composed of four polypeptides-two heavy chains and two light chains. Each tip of the "Y" contains a paratope (a structure analogous to a lock) that is specific for one particular epitope (similarly analogous to a key) on an antigen, allowing these two structures to bind together with precision. The ability of binding to an antigen has led to their ubiquitous use in a variety of life science and medical science. These antibodies can be classified into two primary types (monoclonal and polyclonal) by the means in which they are created from lymphocytes. Each of them has important role in the immune system, diagnostic exams, and treatments.

2. INTRODUCTION
Antibodies are group of glycoprotein molecules present in blood
serum and tissue fluid.
These are produced by a specialized group of cells called B-lymphocytes
(plasma cells) in mammals.
Antibodies are a part of defence system to protect the body against the
invading foreign substance namely antigen (antibody generator or
immunogen).
Each antigen has specific antigenic determinants (epitopes) site
located on it .Antibodies have complementary determining
region(CDRs) which are mainly responsible for the antibody
specificity.
In response to an antigen (with several different epitopes), B-lymphocytes
gear up and produce many different antibodies.
Antibodies which can react with same antigen known as polyclonal
antibodies.
5. HISTORY OF MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY
1964 Littlefield developed a way to isolate hybrid cells from 2
parent cell lines using the hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine
(HAT) selection media
1975 Kohler and Milstein provided the most outstanding proof
of the clonal selection theory by fusion of normal and
malignant cells. This resulted in the first monoclonal
antibodies, for which they received the Nobel Prize in 1984.
6. DISCOVERY!!!
The idea of a "magic bullet"
was first proposed by Paul
Ehrlich at beginning of 20th
century.
He postulated that if a compound
could be made that selectively
targeted a disease-causing organism,
then a toxin for that organism could
be delivered along with agent of
selectivity.
7. DISCOVERY!!!
George Kohler & Cesar Milstein in
1975 shared the Nobel Prize in
Physiology or Medicine in 1984
for discovery of hybridoma
technology.
8. MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY
They are monospecific antibodies that are the same because they are
made by identical immune cells that are all clones of a unique parent
cell
They have monovalent affinity, in that they bind to the
same epitope.
Given almost any substance, it is possible to produce monoclonal
antibodies that specifically bind to that substance; they can then serve
to detect that substance.

10. THE MYELOMA THEORY
In the 1970’s the B-cell
cancer myeloma was
discovered, and it was
understood that these
cancerous B-cells all
produce a single type
of antibody.
This was used to study
the structure of
antibodies, but it was
not possible to produce
identical antibodies
specific to a given
antigen.
11. MYELOMA CELL
Lost the ability to synthesize hypoxanthine-guanine-phosphoribosyl
transferase (HGPRT).
This enzyme enables cells to synthesize purines using an
extracellular source of hypoxanthine as a precursor.
Ordinarily, the absence of HGPRT is not a problem for the cell
because cells have an alternate (de novo)pathway that they can use
to synthesize purines.
However, when cells are exposed to aminopterin (a folic
acid analog), they are unable to use de novo pathway and are now
fully dependent on HGPRT for survival.
12. B cell
B cell has the enzyme HGPRT
But B cells die soon
They do not have the capacity to grow indefinitely because of
their limited life span

16. ADVANTAGES
1)Homogeneity:
Monoclonal antibody represents a single antibody molecule that
binds to antigens with the same affinity and promote the same
effectors functions.
2) Specificity:
• The product of a single hybridoma reacts with the same epitope
on antigens.
3) Immunizing Antigen:
• Need not be characterized and is ultimately not needed in large
quantities to produce large quantities of antibody.
4) Selection:
• It is possible to select for specific epitope specificities and
generate antibodies against a wider range of antigenic
determinants.
5) Antibody Production:
• Unlimited quantities of a single well-defined monospecific
reagent
17. DISADVANTAGES
Average affinity of monoclonal
antibodies are generally lower than
polyclonal antibodies
Monoclonals against
conformational epitopes on
native proteins may lose
reactivity with antigens.
Antibodies sometimes
display unexpected
crossreactions with unrelated
antigens.
