Derivation
|
The cell line was established by Jose A. Lebron and Pamela J. Bjorkman in 1997. Animals were tolerized with human beta2-microglobulin and immunized with purified, soluble, human HFE. Spleen cells were fused with HL-1 Friendly myeloma cells (a derivative of P3X63Ag8.653 that is deficient in both hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase [HPRT] and adenine phosphoribosyl transferase [APRT]).

Comments

The cell line was established by Jose A. Lebron and Pamela J. Bjorkman in 1997. Animals were tolerized with human beta2-microglobulin and immunized with purified, soluble, human HFE. Spleen cells were fused with HL-1 Friendly myeloma cells (a derivative of P3X63Ag8.653 that is deficient in both hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase [HPRT] and adenine phosphoribosyl transferase [APRT]). The antibody recognizes the HFE portion of the HFE/beta2 heterodimer. HFE is a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) related protein that is mutated in the iron-overload disease hereditary hemochromatosis. This antibody can be used for ELISA applications and to immunoprecipitate soluble HFE; it is not reactive in Western Blot assays.
