White blood cells produce antibodies that can be used to target specific proteins on cancer cells. By fusing a white blood cell with a cancer cell, a hybridoma is created that combines the antibody-producing ability of the white blood cell with the cancer cell's ability to replicate indefinitely. This creates a cell line that can produce large quantities of a specific antibody for various medical purposes, such as cancer treatment.

The form of cancer that affects the tissues that produce blood is called?
The form of cancer that affects the tissues that produce blood is called leukemia. Leukemia is a type of cancer that starts in the bone marrow and leads to the production of abnormal white blood cells.
What cells produce antibodies and destroy pathogens?
B cells are the cells that produce antibodies, which are proteins that can neutralize pathogens. Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of lymphocyte that can directly destroy infected cells and cancer cells.
Does muscle tissue produce red blood cells?
No, muscle tissue doesn't produce any blood cells.
What kind of cancer causes the white blood cells to attack the red?
Leukemia is the type of cancer that can cause white blood cells to attack red blood cells. This occurs when the abnormal white blood cells recognize red blood cells as foreign and begin attacking them.
Does the thymus produce red blood cells?
No, the thymus does not produce red blood cells. It is responsible for the development and maturation of T cells, a type of white blood cell important for immune function. Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow.
What is a cancer of the cells that produce white blood cells?
Leukemia
The form of cancer that affects the tissues that produce blood is called?
The form of cancer that affects the tissues that produce blood is called leukemia. Leukemia is a type of cancer that starts in the bone marrow and leads to the production of abnormal white blood cells.
What type of cancer originates in tissues that produce white blood cells?
zoophilia
What cells produce antibodies and destroy pathogens?
B cells are the cells that produce antibodies, which are proteins that can neutralize pathogens. Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of lymphocyte that can directly destroy infected cells and cancer cells.
How plants produce blood cells?
Plants do not have blood so they do not produce blood cells.
What gets mutated when someone gets cancer?
Well. Cancer is basically cells that rapidly grow and crowd out useful cells. It all depends where the cancer is. If it's a tumor, it can be anywhere in the body. So if one has a tumor in the leg, it is a bunch of cells that rapidly produce that can prevent useful cells from doing their duty. Another type of cancer is leukemia, blood cancer. Nothing gets mutated, but white blood cells are rapidly produced, crowding out the red blood cells and platelets. I hope this helps.
How do blood vessels help cancer cells to multiply?
Without oxygen and nutrients, the cell will die. So it needs to grow it's own blood supply to survive. This is called angiogenesis. The cancer cells may be able to stimulate normal cells to produce angiogenic factors to help produce new blood vessels. Scientists researching how tumours grow think that a cancer can't grow much bigger than a pin head before it needs to develop its own blood supply.
Does muscle tissue produce red blood cells?
No, muscle tissue doesn't produce any blood cells.
Why does cancer grow out of control?
cancer cells it produce an enzyme (telomerase) that make cells dividing uncontrolled.
How do cancer cells kill an organism?
Cancer kills an organism by destroying the red blood cells.
Why do some cancer medications sometimes weaken the immune system of cancer patients?
The radiation kills bone marrow, where both red and white blood cells are made. The white blood cells produce most of the immune system, with fewer white blood cells the immune system weakens.
What do white blood cells eat?
sickness and deseses cells in your body such as cancer cells sickness and deseses cells in your body such as cancer cells
