Two cell lines of human hybridomas were fused to generate hybrid antibodies. One human hybridoma cell line was HT2 producing IgM monoclonal antibody (MAb) reactive to carboxy peptidase A (Cpase) and double stranded DNA (ds DNA) and another was SU-1-D2 secreting IgM MAb reactive to ds DNA but not to Cpase. Most hybrid hybridomas obtained by fusion of the two hybridomas secreted hybrid antibodies exhibiting increased antigen binding strengths. All of the hybrid antibodies with increased binding strengths against Cpase and ds DNA contained only the light chains derived from SU-1-D2. These results suggested that increase in the binding strength of the hybrid antibodies resulted from heterogeneous association of H and L chains derived from HT2 and SU-1-D2 cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D002268 Carboxypeptidases Enzymes that act at a free C-terminus of a polypeptide to liberate a single amino acid residue. Carboxypeptidase
D002459 Cell Fusion Fusion of somatic cells in vitro or in vivo, which results in somatic cell hybridization. Cell Fusions,Fusion, Cell,Fusions, Cell
D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
