Production of hepatitis B e antibody in Epstein-Barr virus-induced B lymphocyte cell lines. 1982

Y Furuya, and M Inoue, and Y Yoshida, and N Yoshihara, and M Takada

B lymphocytes separated from anti-HBe-positive donors were established as lymphoblastoid cell lines by infection with EBV, but anti-HBe in the culture supernatant from such lymphoblastoid cell lines could not be detected. The lymphoblastoid cell lines were rosetted with HBe antigen-coupled SRBC to prepare cells for the production of specific anti-HBe. Antibody activity in the culture supernatant against rosette forming cells was detected by RIA, ID, and R-PHI tests during the first 1 to 4 wk, but not after 5 wk. The activity in the supernatant was not destroyed by treatment with 2-mercaptoethanol, indicating that the antibody might be IgG.

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.
