Initial steps for antibody fragment cloning from hybridoma cells
TL;DRAbstract
Our present research has focused on the production, isolation and cloning of analytically active mouse antibody fragments (Fab) which are capable of accelerating organophosphorus acid fluoride hydrolysis. As an initial part of this effort, mouse hybridoma cells were produced to isolate a catalytic immunoglobulin for incorporation as a positive control in Fab cloning experiments. Mice were inoculated biweekly with the organophosphorus transition state analog (TSA) conjugated to porcine thyroglobulin (PTG), N-4(PTG-succinyl) 2(4-amino-3,3-dimethyl-2-butoxy)2-menthoxy(l,3,2-dioxa-4,5(di-tert- butyl)) benzophosphol, until exhibiting hyperimmune polyclonal binding sera. A 50% polyethylene glycol fusion was performed between splenocytes from a PTG-menthoxy inoculated Balb/c mouse and op2 myeloma cells. From the most successful fusion to date, 850/1344 wells produced visible cell clones and supernatants from 88 wells exhibited binding activity in ELISA to bovine albumin-menthoxy TSA. Supernat
