Organism human (B cell lymphoma); mouse (myeloma)
Cell Type hybridoma: B lymphocyte; somatic cell hybri
Product Format frozen
Morphology lymphoblast
Culture Properties suspension
Biosafety Level 1
Disease nodular lymphoma
Applications
The line was produced from a fusion of P3/NSI/1-Ag4-1 cells with malignant cells from a human nodular lymphoma.
The cells are deficient in hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) and are excellent fusion partners for human B cells.
Originally the cells secreted human IgM with a lambda light chain; however, with continuous passage they spontaneously lost the ability to secrete immunoglobulin.
Tested and found negative for ectromelia virus (mousepox).
Storage Conditions liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Derivation
The line was produced from a fusion of P3/NSI/1-Ag4-1 cells with malignant cells from a human nodular lymphoma. Originally the cells secreted human IgM with a lambda light chain; however, with continuous passage they spontaneously lost the ability to secrete immunoglobulin. The cells are deficient in hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) and are excellent fusion partners for human B cells.
