We report the production and characterization of a human monoclonal IgM hybridoma antibody recognizing antigen HLA-A2. B lymphocytes obtained from the peripheral blood of a multiparous volunteer 1 week postpartum were transformed in vitro by Epstein-Barr virus, screened by a microlymphocytotoxicity assay, and electrofused with the heterohybridoma fusion partner, K6H6/B5. A specifically anti-A2 secreting hybridoma cell line. MBW1, was then identified and cloned. The cytotoxic IgM antibody produced showed complete correlation (r = 1.00) with the A2 antigen on a large panel of unrelated donors' lymphocytes, and no cross-reactivity with A28, Aw68, or Aw69 antigens was observed.

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
D002461 Cell Line, Transformed Eukaryotic cell line obtained in a quiescent or stationary phase which undergoes conversion to a state of unregulated growth in culture, resembling an in vitro tumor. It occurs spontaneously or through interaction with viruses, oncogenes, radiation, or drugs/chemicals. Transformed Cell Line,Cell Lines, Transformed,Transformed Cell Lines
D002472 Cell Transformation, Viral An inheritable change in cells manifested by changes in cell division and growth and alterations in cell surface properties. It is induced by infection with a transforming virus. Transformation, Viral Cell,Viral Cell Transformation,Cell Transformations, Viral,Transformations, Viral Cell,Viral Cell Transformations
D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
D004560 Electricity The physical effects involving the presence of electric charges at rest and in motion.
D004854 Herpesvirus 4, Human The type species of LYMPHOCRYPTOVIRUS, subfamily GAMMAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting B-cells in humans. It is thought to be the causative agent of INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS and is strongly associated with oral hairy leukoplakia (LEUKOPLAKIA, HAIRY;), BURKITT LYMPHOMA; and other malignancies.
