Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: B-lymphocytes and spleen cells
Concept:

Hybridoma technology cell fusion partners.

Solution:

Somatic cell hybridization merges antibody-secreting B-lymphocytes (isolated from immunized animal spleen tissue) with immortal myeloma cells to generate hybridomas capable of continuous monoclonal antibody production.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • T-cells and nerve cells: T-cells function in cell-mediated immunity without producing soluble antibodies; nerve cells lack antibody production capacity.


  • T-cells and liver cells: Hepatocytes and T-cells do not express immunoglobulin antibody molecules.


  • B-lymphocytes and macrophages: Macrophages perform antigen phagocytosis and processing; they do not secrete monoclonal antibodies.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
