title: Production of antibody to tetanus toxoid by continuous human lymphoblastoid cell lines.
abstract: Peripheral lymphocytes from human volunteers boosted with tetanus toxoid were cultured after in vitro infection with Epstein-Barr virus. Forty-four continuous lymphoblastoid lines were established which continued to secrete human gamma globulin; seven of these secreted antibody to tetanus toxoid. Subcultures derived from limiting dilution experiments continued to secrete the antibody. Some of these antibody-secreting cells have been in continuous culture for more than 6 months.
