...technique builds on pioneering work with mice done five years ago by César Milstein and Georges Köhler in Britain. By injecting foreign substances into the animals, they stimulated the production of antibodies against the invaders. Then they removed the animals' spleens, a major site for antibody production, and mixed the organ's antibody-producing cells with cancer cells. The result: hybrid cells, dubbed hybridomas, that inherited from the spleen the ability to produce antibodies and from the malignant cells the ability to replicate themselves indefinitely. These hybridomas produce identical copies of themselves-clones...

The terse clinical diagnosis of New York Hospital's Dr. Benjamin Kean, who flew to Cairo on Wednesday to take part in the surgery...
...Friday night when the Shah's fever fell and his blood count improved. At a Saturday press conference following the one-hour operation, doctors pronounced the Shah's condition "very satisfactory." But further tests were planned to determine how far his cancer had spread beyond the spleen...
