Table 1. Hybridoma formation from spleens of mice immunized with γDPGA in combination with CD40 agonist mAb.
Fusion no.* | Immunization protocol | IgM-secreting wells/total wells† | IgG-secreting wells/total wells† | Cell lines produced and cloned by limiting dilution |
---|---|---|---|---|
21 | γDPGA + CD40 mAb (IP)‡ | Not tested | 1/192 | 21BL (IgG1) |
25 | γDPGA + CD40 mAb (IP)§ | 0/192 | 0/192 | None |
24 | γDPGA + CD40 mAb (IP) + PGA IV boost¶ | 157/192 | 184/192 | F24G7 (IgG3), F24F2 (IgG3) |
26 | γDPGA + CD40 mAb (IP) + PGA IV boost∥ | 33/192 | 20/192 | F26G4 (IgG3), F26G3 (IgG3) |
Each fusion represents a mouse immunized by use of the indicated immunization protocol.
After fusion, cells were distributed into 192 wells. The results indicate the number of wells containing colonies that secrete anti-γDPGA IgM or IgG.
Spleens were harvested for hybridoma production 8 days after immunization with γDPGA plus CD40 mAb.
Spleens were harvested 29 days after immunization with γDPGA plus CD40 mAb.
Mice were given an i.v. booster immunization with 0.5 μg of γDPGA 25 days after the initial immunization with PGA plus CD40 mAb; spleens were harvested 4 days later.
Mice were given an i.v. booster immunization with 1.0 μg of γDPGA 17 days after the initial immunization with PGA plus CD40 mAb; spleens were harvested 4 days later.
