TLDR
The derivation of a number of tissue culture cell lines which secrete anti-sheep red blood cell (SRBC) antibodies is described here, made by fusion of a mouse myeloma and mouse spleen cells from an immunised donor.
Abstract
THE manufacture of predefined specific antibodies by means of permanent tissue culture cell lines is of general interest. There are at present a considerable number of permanent cultures of myeloma cells1,2 and screening procedures have been used to reveal antibody activity in some of them. This, however, is not a satisfactory source of monoclonal antibodies of predefined specificity. We describe here the derivation of a number of tissue culture cell lines which secrete anti-sheep red blood cell (SRBC) antibodies. The cell lines are made by fusion of a mouse myeloma and mouse spleen cells from an immunised donor. To understand the expression and interactions of the Ig chains from the parental lines, fusion experiments between two known mouse myeloma lines were carried out.

The Use of Hybridomas in Enzyme Genetics

TL;DR: This work has relied on the use of relatively simple physicochemical techniques for the discrimination of variants, chief among which has been electrophoresis, and two important generalizations have emerged.

Specific binding of fibronectin--antifibronectin immune complexes to procollagen: a new pitfall in immunostaining.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that fibronectin binds specifically to native procollagen, and monoclonal antibodies may be useful for studying fibronsectin-procollagen and other macromolecular interactions.

Human oncogenic viruses

TL;DR: Human oncogenic viruses are ubiquitous pathogens which only in frequently exhibit their malignant potential under natural conditions, and induce "cell transformation" producing malignant cells with unregulated growth.

Functional and Structural Interrelationships among the Mac-1, LFA-1 Family of Leukocyte Adhesion Glycoproteins, and their Deficiency in a Novel Heritable Disease

TL;DR: In the absence of opsonins, some microorganisms/particles may adhere to granulocytes/monocytes without undergoing ingestion or may be phagocytized inefficiently, depending on the physical properties of the microorganisms.

Plaque Formation in Agar by Single Antibody-Producing Cells

TL;DR: Distinct plaques, each of which is due to the release of hemolysin by a single antibody-forming cell, are revealed by complement after incubation, in an agar layer, of a mixture of Sheep red cells and lymphoid cells from a rabbit immunized with sheep red cells.

Selection of Hybrids from Matings of Fibroblasts in vitro and Their Presumed Recombinants

TL;DR: Evidence can be obtained which suggests that mating may be followed by segregation in mice, and when two clonal lines of mouse fibroblasts are grown together for 4 days, hybrid cells can be detected by selective conditions.

TL;DR: In this review of progress in immunology, an attempt is made to synthesize some of the rapidly accumulating observations in clinical medicine and experimental biology into a workable scheme, which may help pediatricians in their approach to the study and management of patients suspected of abnormalities in their resistance to infection.

Mouse myelomas and lymphomas in culture

TL;DR: Assays of the growth inhibiting activities of thymidine and hydrocortisone show that the lymphoma cells are much more sensitive than the myeloma cells, suggesting that in these respects the cultured cell lines possess some of the differentiated characteristics of normal lymphocytes and plasma cells.
