title: Establishment of growth factor-dependent MOPC 104E cell line in vitro.
abstract: The MOPC 104E cell line has been adapted to grow in vitro using a combination of feeder layer and growth factor(s). The growth of this myeloma cell line is dependent on the presence of growth factor(s). Growth-promoting activity generated from T-cell-mitogen-stimulated, Corynebacterium parvum-stimulated spleen cell culture supernatant, and peritoneal adherent cell culture supernatants gives dose-dependent proliferation. Generation of growth factors in the serum-free bovine serum albumin-substituted media and a rapid assay system based on [3H]thymidine uptake for the quantitation of growth promoting activity are described.
