title: Production of monoclonal mouse IgE antibodies with DNP specificity by hybrid cell lines.
abstract: IgE anti-DNP antibody-secreting hybridomas were obtained by polyethylene glycol fusion of murine myeloma cells with spleen cells from mice, primed with DNP-KLH and challenged with DNP-Nippostrongylus brasiliensis extract. The in vivo and in vitro continuously growing hybridomas are producing high amounts of monoclonal IgE anti-DNP antibodies, which are heat-labile, hapten-specific and have rat mast cell sensitizing capacity.
