An expression plasmid p6G425chim2 (ATCC 97055) was created to code for a chimeric murine-human Fab fragment of the monoclonal antibody. Cell lines producing the recombinant humanized antibody are available (ATCC CRL-12444 and ATCC CRL-12445) Animals were immunized with rabbit interleukin 8 (IL-8). Spleen cells were fused with P3X63Ag8U.1 mouse myeloma cells. The antibody blocks IL-8 binding to rabbit neutrophil receptors. |
Subculturing |
Protocol: Cultures can be maintained by addition of fresh medium. Alternatively, cultures can be established by centrifugation with subsequent resuspension at 1 X 10(5) viable cells/ml. Do not allow the cell concentration to exceed 1 X 10 exp6 cells/ml. Interval: Maintain cultures at a cell concentration between 1 X 10(5) and 1 X 10(6) cells/ml. Medium Renewal: Evey 2 to 3 days |
