Hybridoma Growth Supplement

 

 

 

 

As you may have heard is the FC-210001 ORIGEN Hybridoma Cloning factor no longer available.

 

GENTAUR is pleased to inform you we have a replacement for the FC210001 ORIGEN Hybridoma Cloning factor.

We have an alternative product which enables you to easily prepare your own Serum-Free Hybridoma Growth Medium.

 

The HybridoMax Hybridoma Growth Supplement replaces feeder layers or other conditioned media and growth factors used in hybridoma production. HybridoMax increases the yield of hybridomas surviving HAT selection, the cloning efficiency of B-cell hybridomas, and the number of antibody producing colonies.

 

The HybridoMax Hybridoma Growth Supplement is ready to use. Prepare the serum free Hybridoma growth medium by dissolving 1 bottle of HybridoMax (11 ml) into 1 Liter of D-MEM F-12 (Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium F-12).

 

The prepared Serum-Free Hybridoma growth medium is a chemically defined culture medium supporting the serum-free growth of various hybridomas and 293 cells. The compounds of Hybridoma growth medium include water for injection, a modified DMEM/F12 base, HEPES buffer, known amounts of insulin, transferin, testosterone, sodium selenite, ethanolamine, a variety of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, and stabilizing proteins. HybridoMax contains no IL-6 and no bovine serum albumine or other undefined protein mixtures.

INTENDED
USE
  The Immuno-Tek Human IgG EIA Kit is a rapid, easy to use enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (EIA) designed for the measurement of human IgG in cell culture supernatants, ascites or other biological fluid. The kit is especially useful in monitoring the production and purification of mouse monoclonal antibodies. The kit contains premixed reagents and takes less than two hours to obtain results. The microplate and detector antibody in the kit have been specifically balanced to react uniformly with all subclasses of human IgG.The Immuno-Tek Human IgG EIA Kit is for Research Purposes Only.
   

PRINCIPLE OF
THE TEST
  Microwells coated with polyclonal antibodies to human IgG form the capture phase of the assay. These antibodies bind uniformly to all subclasses of human IgG. Captured human IgG then reacts with detector antibody which is a polyclonal anti-human IgG conjugated with horseradish peroxidase. This reagent also reacts uniformly to all subclasses of human IgG. Enzyme activity in the wells are then quantified using tetramethyl benzidine as a substrate.

SPECIMEN
DILUTIONS
  Hybridoma Supernatants

Hybridoma supernatants from stationary cell cultures will typically contain between 1 μg/ml and 30 μg/ml of monoclonal antibody. Because of this, we recommend preparing a 1:250 dilution of cell culture supernatants in Assay Diluent for initial testing.

When using cell culture supernatants from bioreactors, a further dilution may be necessary since many bioreactors are capable of producing much higher concentrations of monoclonal antibodies than standard stationary cell cultures. Refer to the technical literature provided with the bioreactor to determine a dilution that will yield a monoclonal antibody concentration between 125 ng/ml and 7.8 ng/ml.

After initial testing, it may be necessary to adjust the concentration of the antibody solution to be tested in order to obtain a concentration between 125 ng/ml and 7.8 ng/ml for accurate quantification.

Ascites

Human serum will typically contain between 1 mg/ml and 10 mg/ml of monoclonal antibody. Because of this, we recommend preparing a 1:250,000 dilution of ascites in Assay Diluent for initial testing.

After initial testing, it may be necessary to adjust the concentration of the antibody solution to be tested in order to obtain a concentration between 125 ng/ml and 7.8 ng/ml for accurate quantification.

   

TEST
PROCEDURE
 

To avoid cross contamination, use separate pipet tips for each specimen.

Step 1: Label each strip on its end tab to ensure identity should the strips become detached from the plate frame during the assay.

Step 2: Designate one well on the plate and leave empty. This well will serve as a substrate blank.

Step 3: Pipet 200 μl of standards #1-6 into duplicate wells.

Step 4: Pipet 200 μl of each specimen into duplicate wells.

Step 5: Cover the microplate with a plate sealer and incubate the plate for 30 minutes at 37ー C.

Step 6: Aspirate the contents of each well and wash the wells 4 times with 1X Plate Wash Buffer. To wash, fill the wells with 300 μl of 1X plate wash buffer and aspirate. Perform 4 fill/aspirate cycles. After the final wash cycle, thoroughly blot the plate by carefully striking the plate on a pad of absorbent paper towels. Continue until no visible droplets of Plate Wash Buffer exists.

Step 7: Pipet 100 μl of Detector Antibody into each standard and specimen well.
Do not add detector antibody to the substrate blank well.

Step 8: Cover the plate with a plate sealer and incubate for 30 minutes at 37ー C.

Step 9: Wash the plate 4 times with Plate Wash Buffer as described in Step 6.

Step 10: Pipet 100 μl of Substrate into each well including the substrate blank well.

Step 11: Incubate the plate for 30 minutes at room temperature. Blue color will develop in wells containing human IgG.

Step 12: Pipet 100 μl of Stop Solution (2M Sulfuric Acid) into each well. A color change from blue to yellow will occur.

Step 13: Within 15 minutes, read the optical density of each well at 450 nm using a microtiter plate reader.

   

TEST
VALIDITY
  For the test to be valid, the mean optical density of the 0 pg/ml standard and the substrate blank must be below 0.200.
   

CALCULATIONS
AND
INTERPRETATION
OF RESULTS
  Using linear graph paper or a computer program, plot the optical densities of each standard on the Y-axis versus the corresponding concentration of the standards on the X-axis.The concentration of human IgG in each diluted specimen may then be determined manually using a ruler to extrapolate, by linear regression using a computer program or pocket calculator with a linear regression function, or by point to point calculation again using a computer or calculator.

Correct the diluted specimen values by the dilution factor used to obtain the final concentration of human IgG in the original specimen.
