Jeanne Kelly Brian Hollen Illustrates the immune system, a complex network of specialized cells and organs that distinguishes between self and foreign molecules inside the body. Explains that a malfunctioning immune system can cause allergies or arthritis and can fail to stop the growth of cancer cells.

Hybridoma Technology Antibody-producing plasma cells Antigen Cells fuse to make hybridomas Cancerous plasma cells Monoclonal antibodies are purified Desired clones are cultured and frozen Hybridomas are kept alive in mouse Clones are tested for desired antibody Individual hybridoma cells are cloned Hybridoma cells grow in culture

Slide 38

Genetic Engineering A plasmid (ring of DNA) is isolated from a bacterium The new gene directs the bacterium to make a new protein product such as interferon When the bacterium divides and replicates, it copies itself and the recombinant DNA The recombinant plasmid is inserted back into the bacterium The gene is inserted into the plasmid, where it fits exactly. This is recombinant DNA A gene for protein, taken from another cell, is cut with the same enzyme An enzyme cuts the DNA at specific sites
