Establishment of hybridomas secreting human monoclonal antibodies against tetanus toxin and hepatitis B virus surface antigen.
Mouse-human heterohybrids (M X H) were constructed and compared with other cell lines (human or mouse) as parental cells to obtain hybrids secreting human monoclonal antibody (MoAb). One of the M X H lines, HM-5, was far superior to the others and useful for establishing hybrids secreting human MoAb. Using HM-5 as a parental cell line, we have obtained 2 hybrids secreting human anti-tetanus toxoid MoAb with neutralizing activity and a hybrid secreting human anti-hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) MoAb which recognizes the a-determinant of HBsAg.
