Human monoclonal antibodies specific for the Rh(D) antigen were produced by cell lines generated by the fusion of pooled Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed B-cell lines secreting Rh(D) antibodies with the murine myeloma cell line NS.1 or with the human lymphoblastoid cell line HOA.1. The selection of hybrids was achieved in RPMI 1640 medium containing HAT and ouabain. Higher fusion efficiency was obtained with the NS.1 cell line; however, the hybrids with HOA.1 exhibited a greater clonal stability. The products of four clones (three human-human and one human-mouse) that consistently secreted antibodies for over 11 months were tested for specificity with a panel of red cells of various Rh phenotypes. The supernatants of all four clones showed anti-Rh(D) specificity but failed to react with the red cell Du phenotypes categorized as DV(Dw+) and DVI. Two of the three human-human clones secreted IgM(lambda) and the third IgG(kappa). The human-mouse clone produced IgG(kappa) antibody.

D006825 Hybridomas Cells artificially created by fusion of activated lymphocytes with neoplastic cells. The resulting hybrid cells are cloned and produce pure MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES or T-cell products, identical to those produced by the immunologically competent parent cell. Hybridoma
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
