| Applications: |
The line was produced from a fusion of P3/NSI/1-Ag4-1 cells with malignant cells from a human nodular lymphoma.
The cells are deficient in hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) and are excellent fusion partners for human B cells.
Originally the cells secreted human IgM with a lambda light chain; however, with continuous passage they spontaneously lost the ability to secrete immunoglobulin.
Tested and found negative for ectromelia virus (mousepox). |
