Question

Which of the following are TRUE statements concerning HAT selection? O HAT selection requires the fusion of helper T cells with myoloma cells. DMyoloma cells are killed as they are mortal. DYou isolate only Hybridoma clones that recognize your specific antigen from HAT selecti D Myoloma cells die as they cannot synthesize new nucleotides. DHAT selection requires the fusion of plasma cells with myoloma cells. DHAT medium selection is used to generate a polyclonal antibody. HAT medium selection is used to generate a monoclonal antibody.
