They took spleen cells from victims of Hodgkin's disease, a form of cancer in which the spleen is usually removed during treatment. The cells had already been exposed to the chemical dinitrochlorobenzene and were making antibodies. These cells were then fused with cancerous bone-marrow cells, yielding hybrid cells that could churn out the antibody...
