A cell line that secretes a monoclonal antibody to factor IX has been produced by fusing spleen cells from a mouse that had been hyper immunised to purified factor IX with mouse myeloma cells (line P3-NSI/I-Ag4-1). Hybrid cells were selected and a monoclonal cell line has been established in culture. This cell line secretes an IgGl(k) antibody (RFF-IX/1) with high affinity for a site related to the coagulant function of factor IX.Monoclonal antibody was partially purified from ascitic fluid from mice implanted with the RFF-IX/1 secreting cells by precipitation at 50% saturation with ammonium sulphate. This fraction has typically 630 NIH units/ml anti IX activity and 13.5 mg/ml protein. It was coupled to cyanogen bromide activated Sepharose 2B in the ratio of 9 mg. protein/1 ml gel. A column containing 10 ml of this gel removed all the assayable factor IX from the first 280 ml of normal ci.trated plasma that was passed over it. After that volume small amounts of factor IX could be detected in the effluent. Subsequently 10-20% of the factor IX activity adsorbed could be recovered by eluting the column with 3 M potassium iodide.Immuno-affinity depleted plasma could be used as substrate in a one-stage factor IX assay under routine laboratory conditions and was undistinguishable for that purpose from severe Christmas disease plasma.

A radioligand immunoassay for 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [1,25(OH)2D3] receptors was developed utilizing a specific, high-affinity (Kd = 1.8×10(-11 M) monoclonal antibody (9A7 gamma) obtained from suspension cultures of rat spleen X mouse myeloma hybrid SP2/0-9A7. A standard curve was established, based on the competition between 1,25(OH)2[3H]D3-receptor (18 fmol/tube) and increasing concentrations of radioinert 1,25(OH)2D3-receptor (0-240 fmol/tube) for the binding site on 9A7 gamma. Samples, prepared in identical buffer, contained 0-100 fmol of receptor/tube. After an equilibrium incubation of 1,25(OH)2[3H]D3-receptor with either standard or sample (16 h at 4 degrees C), antibody-bound receptor was immunoprecipitated with rabbit anti-(rat immunoglobulin) prelinked to Staphylococcus aureus and quantified. The assay is statistically sensitive to 2 fmol of receptor/tube, with intra- and inter-assay variations of 7 and 12% respectively. Occupied, unoccupied and denatured receptor were observed to compete equally in the assay. This quantitative technique has been successfully applied to the characterization of receptors after fractionation by sedimentation analysis and DNA-cellulose chromatography. Finally, the measurement of total receptor by this assay, in conjunction with 1,25(OH)2D3 binding assays, has revealed that rachitic, normal and 1,25(OH)2D3-injected chicks have respectively 13, 20, and 56% of receptor in the occupied form. From these results we consider that this radioligand immunoassay will be a useful tool in further research focusing on quantifying 1,25(OH)2D3 receptors in tissue and cell extracts.

Spleen cells of a BALB/c mouse immunized with factor VIII procoagulant activity (VIII:C) (isolated by affinity chromatography) were fused with mouse myeloma cells (P3 x 63 Ag8). After the fusion 12/32 wells produced an inhibitor to VIII:C. Cells from one well (1B3) were subcloned four times in order to isolate the hybridoma that produces the anti-VIII:C antibody. Injection of hybridoma cells in pristane pretreated BALB/c mice results in anti-VIII:C titers of 5000–10,000 Bethesda U/ml. Analysis of the produced immunoglobulin demonstrated heavy chains of IgG1 (produced by the myeloma cell line) and IgG2b subclass. The 1B3 antibody neutralizes VIII:C in LMW FVIII, crysosupernatant, cryoprecipitate, and normal plasma. It was found that binding of the IgG to FVIII results in a delay in its activation and not in an inhibition of its cofactor activity. The antibody removes VIII:C from pooled normal plasma when coupled to Sepharose; when coupled to plastic tubes, it binds VIIICAG from isolated VIII:C, purified FVIII, and pooled normal plasma; it does not bind VIIIR:AG, fibrogen, or serum VIIICAG. The 1B3 antibody can be used successfully in an IRMA for VIIICAG.

Six kinds of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) systems were developed for the quantitative analysis of hormone-disrupting chemicals (HDCs), such as estrogen (ES: the total amount of estrone (E1), 17 β-estra (E2) and estriol (E3)), E2, bisphenol A (BPA), alkylphenol (AP), phthalate esters (PE) and chlorophenols (CP). To generate specific monoclonal antibodies against BPA, AP, PE, CP, hybridoma cells were produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and spleen cells from mice immunized with carboxylated derivatives, while anti E2 monoclonal antibody was selected from those available on the market, and anti ES monoclonal antibody was purchased from Teikoku Hormone Mfg Co. Ltd. The detection limits of ES, E2, BPA, AP, PE and CP ELISAs were 0.1, 0.1, 5, 10, 200, 10 μg/L, when E2, E2, BPA, Nonylphenol (NP), Dibutylphthalate (DBP), 2,4-CP were used as standard, respectively, and the specificity of each ELISA was confirmed with the cross-reaction test using several compounds which have structural resemblance to the compounds of interest.

SummaryMonoclonal antibodies to human fibrin have been prepared from stable hybridomas, obtained by fusion of a mouse myeloma cell line (NS-1) and spleen cells of Balb/c mice immunized with a suspension of human fibrin. One cell line, DG1, producing a monoclonal antibody of the IgG1 κ subclass, reacted specifically with human fibrin (KD = 1.2 nM). Western blotting analysis indicates that DG1 crossreacts with the fibrin fragment D-dimer. Using both a chromogenic and an 125I-fibrin release assay it was illustrated that in the presence of the fibrin specific antibody the t-PA mediated generation of plasmin was significantly inhibited.An animal model system, developed to monitor thrombosis and induced reactive fibrinolysis, was used to investigate the interference of plasminogen activation, by the antibody, in vivo.This fibrin specific antibody prolonged the onset of reactive fibrinolysis in a dose dependent manner.

Aim: The humanized anti-CD52 monoclonal antibody alemtuzumab depletes lymphocytes and is currently used to treat relapsing multiple sclerosis. During treatment, anti-alemtuzumab antibodies may develop and reduce effective lymphocyte depletion in future treatment cycles. Results: Alemtuzumab–Alexa Fluor 488 conjugate binding to the CHO-CD52 cell surface was inhibited by anti-alemtuzumab antibodies. Conclusion: In this proof-of-concept study, a CHO-CD52 cell line has been developed and used to detect the presence of anti-alemtuzumab neutralizing antibodies. This platform provides the basis of an assay for routine screening of serum for neutralizing antibodies from patients treated with alemtuzumab.

Monoclonal antibodies were prepared against the Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell line to identify epithelial cell surface macromolecules involved in renal function. Lymphocyte hybrids were generated by fusing P3U-1 myeloma cells with spleen cells from a C3H mouse immunized with MDCK cells. Hybridomas secreting anti-MDCK antibodies were obtained and clonal lines isolated in soft agarose. We are reporting on one hybridoma line that secretes a monoclonal antibody that binds to MDCK cells at levels 20-fold greater than background binding. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy was utilized to study the distribution of antibody binding on MDCK cells and on frozen sections of dog kidney and several nonrenal tissues. In the kidney the fluorescence staining pattern demonstrates that the antibody recognizes an antigenic determinant that is expressed only on the epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb of Henle's loops and the distal convoluted tubule and appears to be localized on the basolateral plasma membrane. This antigen also has a unique distribution in non-renal tissues and can only be detected on cells known to be active in transepithelial ion movements. These results indicate the probable distal tubule origin of MDCK and suggest that the monoclonal antibody recognizes a cell surface antigen involved in physiological functions unique to the kidney distal tubule and transporting epithelia of nonrenal tissues.

Five gamma 2a-producing cell lines, all derived from the gamma 2b-producing mouse myeloma MPC11, were analyzed for changes in gene structure. Also examined was a cell line (ICR9.7.1) that acts as an intermediate to some of these class switches. All six of the MPC11 variants have undergone DNA rearrangement. Rearrangement sites in the gamma 2a-producing cells are different in each case and generally do not involve tandem repeat sequences. An enhancer for heavy chain gene transcription was deleted in at least one of these cell lines as a result of its class-switch rearrangement. DNA sequence analysis of cloned genes from two of the MPC11 variants revealed shared sequences at their rearrangement breakpoints. The same sequences are found at the breakpoints of two additional immunoglobulin gene rearrangements in MPC11.
