how are they made?
•
Lymphocytes from a healthy person who previously had the disease are extracted (they can produce the antibody)
•
Tumor cells from mice are extracted (they can divide quickly)
•
They're merged to form 'hybridoma cells' which divide quickly AND produce antibodies
•
These are cloned in bioreactor
•
The clones produce the antibody
what are they used for?
•
disease / pregnancy testing
•
treating disease & infections

Question: are the tumor cells called myeloma cells? Also love the notes!!

yep i think they can be called either - we call them tumor cells

A vaccine is a dead, weakened or inactive form of a pathogen that is injected into a patient
1.
The pathogen is introduced to the patient (thru the vaccine)
2.
White blood cells produce lots of different antibodies (trial & error) until it finds one that works
3.
It saves this as a memory
4.
The next time the patient gets the disease, lots of the correct antibody is produced quickly.
btw sorry for so much biology, but i have an exam on wed! see you soon

acceleration is the rate of change of speed
measured in m/s²
(v - u) / t
v is the final velocity (m/s), u is the initial velocity (m/s) & t is time (s)

I’m currently curating my own notes as well, I’d thought I’d share it here :]
You’re doing really well! Keep up the momentum and thank you for providing a space for everyone to share!

An exchange rate is the price of one currency in another.
If the value of the £ appreciates (goes up), you can get more $ per £.
If the £ depreciates (goes down), you can get less $ per £.
Strong
Pound
Imports
Cheaper
Exports
Dearer (more expensive)
If the pound is strong, it is worth more in foreign currencies, making imports cheaper
Also, exports cost more because more foreign currency is needed to buy the item from the UK

Penetration testing is attempting to gain access to resources without knowledge of credentials or normal means of access.
Companies use penetration testing to identify flaws in a network so they can fix any issues found.
Malicious insider / white box
A malicious insider is a penetration tester who has knowledge of the system and possibly basic credentials. This is used to simulate an attack from inside the network (eg a double agent)
External attack
A penetration tester has no knowledge of any credentials of the system - simulating an attack from outside

Objects will remain at rest, or move with a constant velocity unless acted on by a resultant force
This means that if forces are balanced on the object it will either not move or move at constant velocity (speed and direction).
eg. If a car has 100N of thrust and 100N of air resistance (balanced forces), it moves at a constant velocity.
When there is a resultant force (unbalanced) then Newton’s 1st law no longer applies. Then the object can change speed, shape and direction.

just-in-time / JIT production means that items are created as they are demanded.
This means that no excess products are stored (less warehouse costs), and no extra materials are ordered.
Benefits:
•
less warehousing cost
•
order confirmed before parts are ordered
•
stock doesn't become damaged or obsolete
Drawbacks:
•
products take longer to arrive
•
relies on a high-quality supply chain
•
less benefits from economies of scale (bulk discounts)

•
Cyber attacks - loss of data & reputation
•
Changes in taste & trends
•
Negative media attention - bad publicity, loss of sales
•
Risk from competition
•
Financial risks
•
Weather / natural disasters - storms, floods, volcano, COVID
•
Staffing issues - staff who are not reliable or go on strike
Uncertainty is when businesses are unable to predict external shocks or future events
