title: Production of human monoclonal IgG and IgM antibodies with anti-D (rhesus) specificity using heterohybridomas.
abstract: Heterohybridomas secreting human IgM and IgG anti-D antibodies of the rhesus blood group system have been established by fusion of EBV-transformed anti-D secreting cells with the mouse myeloma cells X63-Ag8.653. Both classes of antibody reacted with all Rh-positive cells, some Du cells but not with Rh-negative or DB cells. Concentrations of both antibodies reached between 25 micrograms/ml and 50 micrograms/ml in the culture supernatants. The cell lines have been maintained in culture for 14 months and have been shown to be suitable for large-scale production of antibody.
