Efficient production of IGG human monoclonal antibodies by lymphocytes stimulated by lipopolysaccharide, pokeweed mitogen, and interleukin 4

Abstract: Extensive screening of the mitogens lipopolysaccharide (LPS), pokeweed mitogen (PWM), and Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I (SAC I), alone and in combination and with and without interleukin (IL) was performed for in vitro activation of regional lymph node lymphocytes from lung cancer patients for the production of human IgG, IgM, and IgA. As assessed by electrofusion of the lymphocytes following their exposure to these agents with mouse myeloma cells and incubation of the fused hybridoma, a remarkable stimulatory… Show more

“…Table 2 shows the results on the cell proliferation and Ab (Ig) production, after 2-3 weeks of incubation of the hybridomas, which had been obtained by electrofusion of mouse myeloma cells P3X63Ag8.653 and the lymphocytes previously incubated for 5 d with either LPS or SACI. In the case of no addition of mitogens, hybridomas were hardly generated as reported previously (Yoshinari et al, 1996).…”

“…Regional lymph nodes from patients with primary lung cancer were obtained asceptically during surgery as described previously (Yoshinari et al, 1995;Yoshinari et al, 1996). A single-cell suspension (lymphocytes) in 10% FCS-supplemented RPMI 1640 (Flow Laboratories) medium was prepared by passing the lymph nodes through sterile steel mesh (#200) after teasing with scissors.…”

“…The results of the present study indicate that LPS is effective for such activation, at least when used in combination with lymphokines such as IL-4, IL-6 and IL-7. On this basis, we have now begun a systematic study to determine the combinations of mitogens and lymphokines most effective for this purpose (Yoshinari et al, 1996).…”

“…Fusion is then induced by one or more bursts of direct current. Electrofusion has been used with a variety of fusion partner cell lines, including lymphoblastoid, heteromyeloma and murine myeloma cell lines (Pratt et al 1987;Foung et al 1990;Yoshinari et al 1996). Three studies have directly compared the efficiency of electrofusion and polyethylene glycol (PEG) fusion, estimating an apparent superiority of electrofusion of 4-to 100-fold, with a maximal calculated fusion rate of approximately 1 cell per 1,000 input human B cells (Perkins et al 1991;Krenn et al 1995;Panova and Gustafsson 1995).…”
