We have further optimised the serum-free in vitro immunisation system described by Ossendorp et al. (J. Immunol. Methods 91, 257, 1986) for the generation of hybridomas secreting specific antibodies. Thyroglobulin and the hapten 2-phenyl-5-oxazolone coupled to chicken serum albumin were used as antigens. For an optimal outgrowth of antigen-specific B cells the presence of T cells, thymocyte-conditioned medium and antigen are required. The addition of supernatant from EL-4 cells (stimulated by phorbolmyristate acetate) inhibits the outgrowth of antigen-specific B cells. Using six-well plates with a surface area of 10 cm2 per well, an optimal IgM response was obtained when 10(7) splenocytes in a total volume of 2 ml/well were cultured for 3 days in the presence of antigen and thymocyte-conditioned medium. Increasing the concentration of cells whilst maintaining a constant surface area resulted in a decreased response.

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D007378 Interleukins Soluble factors which stimulate growth-related activities of leukocytes as well as other cell types. They enhance cell proliferation and differentiation, DNA synthesis, secretion of other biologically active molecules and responses to immune and inflammatory stimuli. Interleukin
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
