Monoclonal antibodies specific for carcinoembryonic antigen and produced by two hybrid cell lines

Monoclonal antibodies specific for carcinoembryonic antigen and produced by two hybrid cell lines

R S Accolla et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1980 Jan.

Abstract

Spleen cells from mice immunized with purified carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), an important tumor marker of human carcinomas, were fused with the mouse myeloma cell line P3-NSI/1-Ag4. Out of the 400 hybrids obtained, 2 secreted antibodies reacting specifically with two different antigenic determinants present on CEA molecules. They were cloned and established as permanent hybridoma cell lines. These antibodies, which have relatively high-affinities and can be produced in unlimited amounts, will be useful both for the immunochemical characterization of CEA and as a standard reagent for the identification of this antigen in human tissues and body fluids.
