Production of human hybridomas secreting antibodies to measles virus. 1980

C M Croce, and A Linnenbach, and W Hall, and Z Steplewski, and H Koprowski

Monoclonal antibodies against a variety of antigens can be produced using techniques of somatic cell hybridization between cells of rodent myeloma lines and B cells derived from animals immunized against a given antigen. However, because of the monoclonal antibodies secreted by these hybridomas are of rodent origin, their use in human immunotherapy is limited. Thus the production of B-cell hybrids that secrete human monoclonal antibodies may be of considerable value. We have hybridized a hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT)-deficient human B-cell line derived from a patient suffering from multiple myeloma with peripheral lymphocytes obtained from a patient with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). These hybridomas were found to secrete human IgM specific for measles virus nucleocapsids.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008459 Measles virus The type species of MORBILLIVIRUS and the cause of the highly infectious human disease MEASLES, which affects mostly children. Edmonston virus
D009194 Myeloma Proteins Abnormal immunoglobulins characteristic of MULTIPLE MYELOMA. M Components,Proteins, Myeloma
D002213 Capsid The outer protein protective shell of a virus, which protects the viral nucleic acid. Capsids are composed of repeating units (capsomers or capsomeres) of CAPSID PROTEINS which when assembled together form either an icosahedral or helical shape. Procapsid,Prohead,Capsids,Procapsids,Proheads
D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D002999 Clone Cells A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence.
