Cell Line EL-4-B5 is a subclone of murine EL4 thymoma that is a bromo-deoxyufidine-resistant mutant, and can be used as a feeder layer to generate B cell cultures yielding human monoclonal antibodies.
IL-2 producing EL-4 mouse thymoma cells underwent mutagenesis with ethyl-methane-sulfonate resulting in fusion partners for T cell hybridomas. It was then discovered that the thymidine kinase-deficient and ouabaine-resistant clone EL-4 BurOUr 6.1 also activated murine and human B cells via cell contact. Subcloning produced the EL-4-B5 cells, which strongly activate B cells. EL4-B5 is grown with B cells to activate the B cells via direct cell contact to induce proliferation, differentiation, and secretion of antibody. The EL-4-B5 cell line offers a method for the generation of recombinant human mAbs from single antigen-specific B cell clones selected with fluorescent VLPs and can be used to generate human mAbs to many other viruses whose proteins can self-assemble into VLPs.
SPECIFICATIONS
| Product Type: | Cell Line |
| Name: | EL-4-B5 |
| Cell Type: | Mouse thymoma continuous cell line |
| Accession ID: | CVCL_5I39 |
| Organism: | Mouse |
| Biosafety Level: | 2 |
| Subculturing: | Cells are both adherent and suspension. The suspension cells are the more healthy ones. Can tolerate large splits after line is established (volume ratios of 1:10, for example). Helper function is optimal when cells are in log phase growth. Keep density below 106cells per mL at all times |
| Growth Conditions: | RPMI-1640, 10% FBS heat inactivated, with 2 mM glutamine, usually antibiotics (typically pen/strep or gentamicin plus amphotericin B), 10 mM HEPES, 2- mercaptoethanol (0.056 mM) |
| Cryopreservation: | Standard conditions (typically 10% DMSO, 90% FBS) |
| Mycoplasma Tested: | Yes |
| Storage: | Liquid nitrogen |
| Shipped: | Dry ice |
