A client diagnosed with a cancer has been prescribed monoclonal antibodies as a treatment option. He asks the health care provider, "What are you talking about? I've never heard of this treatment. Is it experimental?"

They then harvest the antibody-producing cells from the mice and individually fuse them with a cancerous cell. B) Short sequences of base pairs can be synthesized, radioactively labeled, and subsequently used to identify their complementary sequence.
