Cell Type hybridoma: B lymphocyte
Product Format frozen
Morphology lymphoblast
Culture Properties suspension
Biosafety Level 1
Applications
Suzanne Epstein that reacts with the gp120 of HIV-1.
In ELISA the antibody reacts strongly with rgp120 IIIB and weakly to gp120 MN.
It binds to the C1 region (positions 105 - 117) gp120 synthetic peptide used to map antibody reactivity and was not able to cross block any other antibodies in the panel.
Derivation
Spleen cells were fused with Sp2/0-Ag14 myeloma cells.
55-6 is one of a panel of antibodies developed by Dr. Suzanne Epstein that reacts with the gp120 of HIV-1.
Genes Expressed
immunoglobulin; monoclonal antibody; against human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) gp120
Tumorigenic Yes
Effects
Yes, in BALB/c mice
Comments
Animals were sequentially immunized with recombinant gp120 (rgp120) from three different nonglycosylated isolates of HIV-1 (IIIB, SF2, and Z6).
Spleen cells were fused with Sp2/0-Ag14 myeloma cells.

Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is ATCC Hybri-Care Medium, Catalog No. 46-X. Hybri-Care Medium is supplied as a powder and should be reconstituted in 1 L cell-culture-grade water. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium:
  • fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%
  • 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate for use with 5% CO2 in air atmosphere.
    • Subculturing
    Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
    Cultures can be maintained by addition or replacement of fresh medium. Start cultures at 2 X 10 exp5 cells/ml and maintain between 1 X 10 exp5 and 1 X 10 exp6 cells/ml.
    Cryopreservation
    Culture medium, 95%; DMSO, 5%
    Isotype IgG2a
