We produced human-human hybridomas by fusing lymph node lymphocytes of breast cancer patients with a fusion partner, HO-323 cells, in the presence of 50% polyethylene glycol, and screened hybridomas producing monoclonal antibody (MoAb) reactive to a breast cancer cell line, MCF-7. Among 11 hybridomas secreting IgM reactive to MCF-7, four hybridomas (H15A3, H15F2, K15B4, and K15C3) produced IgM reacting specifically to breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and HBC-5). Among them, H15A3 proliferated in a serum-free (RDF) medium supplemented with insulin, transferrin, ethanolamine, selenium, and endothelial cell growth supplement, as fast as in 10% FCS-RDF medium. According to transfer blotting analysis, the H15F2 MoAb reacted with a 40,000 dalton antigen in MCF-7 cells.

D008198 Lymph Nodes They are oval or bean shaped bodies (1 - 30 mm in diameter) located along the lymphatic system. Lymph Node,Node, Lymph,Nodes, Lymph
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
