Monoclonal antibodies come from clones of B cells that produce a single antibody of known specificity. B cells will nor normally divide in the absence of antibody. The special trick that allowed monoclonal antibody-producing cells to be grown in culture was: (a) Mice were immunized with antigen and T cells removed and grown
Arnold, 67, visited his doctor for the first time in about ten years because he had noticed an increasing shortness of breath during gentle exercise.

Why is the distal tubule/collecting duct the only place to regulate osmolarity, seeing as we can absorb Na without H20 in the ascending loop? Is it just because the effect of any change in osmolarity earlier in the tubule gets undone (by ADH) in the distal tubule? Or is it because those earlier Na transporters aren't under physi
