Antibody production

Abstract

Disclosed are methods and devices that are suitable for producing monoclonal antibodies. In some embodiments, the method comprises: i. providing antibody-producing cells; ii. incubating the cells in vitro in the presence of an antigen for an incubation period under conditions suitable for the cells to produce antibodies; and iii. during, before or after at least some of said incubation period, irradiating the cells with millimeter wave (MMW) and/or terahertz radiation for an irradiation period, thereby the cells producing antibodies. In some embodiments, the device comprises: an incubation module suitable for incubation of antibody-producing cells for an incubation period therein; and an irradiation module for irradiation of antibody-producing cells that are being incubated in the incubation module components for an irradiation period with MMW and/or terahertz radiation.
