[The ultrastructural picture of cells of B lymphocyte hybridomas]. 1982

V Viklický, and J Bártek

The ultrastructure of the cells of six B lymphocyte hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies does not, in principle, differ from the mouse myeloma cells. Their cytoplasm contains mostly membrane bound polyribosomes, Golgi apparatus and numerous membrane structures. The dominant finding, however, was the presence of a great number of A particles which occur almost exclusively in the cisterns of the endoplasmatic reticulum. A few particles were found in the mouse thymoma. C-virus particles were detected to a lesser extent in hybridoma and myeloma cells. The finding of the C-type particles in the hybridomas that produce monoclonal antibodies is very important; monoclonal antibodies of the mouse origin have recently become a powerful tool not only in the diagnosis, but also in the therapy of human diseases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D008807 Mice, Inbred BALB C An inbred strain of mouse that is widely used in IMMUNOLOGY studies and cancer research. BALB C Mice, Inbred,BALB C Mouse, Inbred,Inbred BALB C Mice,Inbred BALB C Mouse,Mice, BALB C,Mouse, BALB C,Mouse, Inbred BALB C,BALB C Mice,BALB C Mouse
D009101 Multiple Myeloma A malignancy of mature PLASMA CELLS engaging in monoclonal immunoglobulin production. It is characterized by hyperglobulinemia, excess Bence-Jones proteins (free monoclonal IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) in the urine, skeletal destruction, bone pain, and fractures. Other features include ANEMIA; HYPERCALCEMIA; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY.

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.
