Comments:
Animals were immunized with cells from human tonsils.
Spleen cells were fused with P3X63Ag8 myeloma cells.
The antibody reacts with monomorphic determinants on HLA A,B,C molecules.
The antibody is cytotoxic.
The antibody cross-reacts with ape, mon key and cow cells.
It does not react with rabbit cells.
Tested and found negative for ectromelia virus (mousepox).
Propagation:
ATCC complete growth medium: The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, Catalog No. 30-2002. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Subculturing:
Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Cultures can be maintained by addition or replacement of fresh medium. Start cultures at 2 X 10 exp5 cells/ml and maintain between 1 X 10 exp5 and 1 X 10 exp6 cells/ml.
