Somatic cell hybrids producing antibodies specific for the tumor antigen of simian virus 40.

چکیده
We have produced somatic cell hybrids between mouse myeloma cells deficient in hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase IMP: pyrophosphate phosphoribosyltransferase; EC 2.4.2.8) and spleen cells derived from mice primed with either syngeneic or allogeneic cells transformed by simian virus 40. Such hybrids produced antibodies specific for simian virus 40 tumor (T) antigen. Only four of twelve independent hybrid cell cultures produced antibodies against simian virus 40 T antigen that crossreacted with the T antigen induced by BK virus, a human papovavirus isolated from patients who had undergone immunosuppressive therapy.

Production of Monoclonal Antibody against Prokaryotically Expressed G1 Protein of Bovine Ephemeral Fever Virus
Epitope-G1 of bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) G glycoprotein has been genetically and antigenically conserved among various isolates of BEFV and only reacts with anti-BEFV neutralising antibodies. Therefore, it is a candidate antigen for development of the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for serological identification bovine ephemeral fever (BEF)-infected animals. The aim of this ...
متن کاملHybridoma-free generation of monoclonal antibodies.
Production of monoclonal antibodies requires immortalization of splenocytes by somatic fusion to a myeloma cell line partner (hybridomas). Although hybridomas can be immortal, they may depend on a feeder cell layer and may be genetically unstable. Since the inception of hybridoma technology, efforts to improve efficiency and stability of monoclonal antibody-producing cell lines have not brought...
متن کاملAnother chromosomal assignment for a simian virus 40 integration site in human cells.
Somatic cell hybrids derived from fusion of GM637, a human cell line transformed by simian virus 40, and mouse B82 cells were examined for simian virus 40 T antigen, V antigen, and viral DNA. All hybrid cell lines that contained viral DNA were T-antigen positive. Cells that did not have viral DNA were T-antigen negative. We determined that there is a single viral insertion in these hybrid cells...
متن کاملSuppression of the simian virus 40 tumorigenic phenotype in hybrid cells formed from simian virus 40- and adenovirus 2-transformed hamster embryo cells.
Hamster cells transformed by adenovirus 2 (Ad2) or simian virus 40 (SV40) have different tumorigenic phenotypes. In the present study, somatic cell hybrids formed from Ad2- and SV40-transformed hamster cells were used to determine whether possible interactions between the integrated viral genomes would influence the tumorigenic phenotype of hybrid transformed cells. These somatic cell hybrids w...

Immunoselection via complement-dependent lysis of human-mouse somatic cell hybrids containing chromosome 7, with antisera reactive to cell surface antigen(s) coded for by chromosome 7, has resulted in growth of somatic cell hybrids containing rearranged human chromosome 7s. Investigation of these hybrids has localized the gene(s) coding for the relevant cell surface antigen(s) to the short arm ...
