Murine/bovine hybridomas producing monoclonal alloantibodies to bovine red cell antigens.
In attempts to produce stable lines secreting bovine monoclonal antibodies, murine/bovine hybridomas (1 degree xenohybridomas) were selectively cultured in 8-azaguanine to derive HAT-sensitive lines that were then used as myeloma partners for further fusions with bovine lymphocytes. The resulting 2 degrees xenohybridomas were further selected to produce 3 degrees xenohybridomas. Four stable lines secreting bovine monoclonal antibodies recognizing blood group determinants X1 (an IgG1), E'2 (an IgM) and SU" (an IgGI) and another (an IgGI) as yet unidentified were produced from fusions of 2 degrees xenohybridomas with lymphocytes from calves that had been immunized with bovine red cells.
