Long term antibody production in cultures of peripheral blood lymphocytes. 1987

A L Luzzati, and E Giacomini, and C Ramoni, and P Frugoni

Antigen stimulated cultures of rabbit and human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) were maintained in active antibody synthesis for at least a month. When rabbit PBL were used, the response to a particulate antigen (SRC) was not affected by a change of medium and/or by disruption of the cell to cell contact during culture. On the other hand, the response to a soluble antigen (OA) was markedly increased by changing the medium after the onset of the response. When human PBL were used, any handling that caused disruption of cellular contacts was detrimental for continuation of the specific response. In both the rabbit and the human system the overall cell number did not increase during culture, but an enrichment in the specific cells occurred. These cultures represent a powerful tool both for studies of late events of the immune response and for the aim of establishing antibody producing cell lines.

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
D005260 Female Females
D006462 Hemolytic Plaque Technique A method to identify and enumerate cells that are synthesizing ANTIBODIES against ANTIGENS or HAPTENS conjugated to sheep RED BLOOD CELLS. The sheep red blood cells surrounding cells secreting antibody are lysed by added COMPLEMENT producing a clear zone of HEMOLYSIS.
