In vitro production of monoclonal human rheumatoid factors.

چکیده
Lymphocytes from rheumatoid arthritis patients have been fused with drug-marked human myeloma cell lines and hybrids selected which secrete rheumatoid factors. Limiting dilution and soft agarose plates have been used to clone these hybrids, but so far stable clones have not been obtained. Epstein-Barr virus has been used to transform lymphocytes, and clones which secrete rheumatoid factors have been obtained.

Total IgM, IgA, and IgM-rheumatoid factor (RF) and IgA-RF were quantitated in the serum and synovial fluid of 35 seropositive and 8 seronegative rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, using a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood and synovial fluid of three seropositive patients were also stimulated in vitro with phorbol myristat...

Background: Lung carcinoma is a multiple type cancer comprising of small cell and non-small cell carcinomas (NSCLC). For therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, serum monoclonal antibodies have been produced against lung cancer. Objective: To charac-terize a murine monoclonal antibody (ME3D11) reactive with human NSCLC. Methods: A murine monoclonal antibody (ME3D11) reactive with human NSCLC was s...
متن کاملPreexisting human anti-murine immunoglobulin reactivity due to polyclonal rheumatoid factors.
We report that sera from healthy controls, patients with ovarian or lung cancer, and patients with rheumatoid arthritis all contain IgM polyclonal rheumatoid factors which recognize antigenic determinants on murine and to a greater extent human immunoglobulin IgG. The major part of this reactivity is directed against conserved, shared antigenic determinants present on both human and murine IgG....
متن کاملTHE PRODUCTION OF MURINE MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES (MAb) DIRECTED AGAINST HUMAN T- LYMPHOCYTE SUBSETS
The production of murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) has not yet been reported in Iran. The present work describes for the first time the generation of several murine hybridoma clones secreting MAbs directed against human leukocyte surface antigens. The secreted antibodies by hybridoma clones have been screened on different lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues. Results indicated that of seven h...
متن کاملProduction and Characterization of Murine Monoclonal Antibodies Recognizing Conformational and Linear Epitopes Localized on Human IgA2 Molecules
Background: There are two subclasses of human IgA (IgA1 and IgA2) that differ in antigenic properties and in chemical composition. The constant domains of α1 and α2 heavy chains have >95% sequence homology though major structural differences exist in the hinge region. Quantitation of IgA subclass levels depends on the availability of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for conserved conformat...
