***This video is for the topic of Infection and Response for GCSE Biology and Combined Science (9-1) - it is written for the AQA specification but overlaps with other exam boards. Monoclonal Antibodies is BIOLOGY ONLY content - it is not needed for the Combined Science specification.***
We’ll start with how monoclonal antibodies are made in the lab. I’ll introduce the words lymphocyte and hybridoma - these are important to learn.
Then we’ll move onto the uses of monoclonal antibodies - there are 4 main ones to learn - you don’t need to know any details, but you could be given extra information to use to explain how they work. This is an application type of question.
Finally, we’ll look at the advantages of MABs over conventional drugs and the one big drawback of them.
To finish up, I’ll test you with some quick question to see what you’ve understood - a six mark question describing how they are made and used is possible.
I really hope this video helps & that you’ve enjoyed revising with me - let me know if there are any other videos you’d like to see!
