摘要:
The present invention concerns a mammalian cell line which when co-cultured with lymphocytes during which allogenic stimulation is avoided activates lymphocytes fo form tumoricidal cells, a process for the production of tumoricidal T lymphocytes by co-culturing lymphocytes with this cell line, the tumoricidal T lymphocytes obtained by means of this process and the use of the cells according to the present invention for the production of a therapeutic agent which can be used in tumour therapy.
摘要:
A method for culturing and/or multiplying lymphocytes in cell culture medium which contains as lymphocyte growth factor and additionally, aurin tricarboxylic acid, ciclosporin, tacrolimus, and/or ascomycin.
摘要:
The present invention concerns DNA sequences which are suitable for immortalizing human or animal cells, processes for isolating such DNA sequences as well as processes for producing immortalized human or animal cells using such a DNA.
摘要:
A method for obtaining permanently culturable human and animal cell lines, as well as uses for these cell lines, are disclosed. The method involves fusing cells of a non-immortal cell line with cytoplasts or cytoplasma fractions of "immortal", transformed cells such as immortal myeloma cells, ascites-tumor cells or Epstein Barr Virus infected cells. Once fusion takes place the product is a permanently culturable variant of the previously normal cell line.
摘要:
The invention concerns human monoclonal antibodies of the IgG isotype against human pancreatic islet cells which can be obtained by immortalizing human lymphocytes of prediabetics or diabetics, treating the culture supernatant of the immortalized cells with a conjugate of antibodies against human Fc .gamma. and a label, subsequently treating with human immunoglobulin, incubating with immobilized human pancreatic islet cells identifying an immortalized human cell culture which produces an antibody against pancreatic islet cells via determination of the label bound to the immobilized islet cells, isolating a human immortalized cell which produces this antibody, propagating this immortalized cell and isolating the monoclonal antibody produced by these cells.The invention also concerns a process for the isolation of an islet cell antigen to which such antibodies bind as well as a method for the determination of antibodies against an islet cell antigen of the pancreas.

The present invention provides a process for the preparation of digitalis antibodies in which appropriate mammals are immunized with a digoxin bound to protein, the animal serum is obtained, the immune globulin-containing protein fraction is separated in known manner, the immunologically-active globulins are adsorbed on an immunologically-active column and separated from the other proteins, the antibodies are again eluted from the column and the Fab fractions are split with papain and purified, wherein, as immunologically-active adsorbent, there is used an inorganic matrix of large surface area to which digitoxin aldehyde is bound via a spacer which cannot be split with papain and the splitting off of the Fab fraction from the antibodies is carried out on the matrix.The present invention also provides digitalis antibodies obtained by this process, which antibodies can be used for the therapy of digitalis intoxications and for preparing immunological reagents for the determination of digitalis glycosides.
摘要:
The present invention provides a human monoclonal antibody against melanoma, characterized in that it binds to the gangliosides GM3 and GD3 but essentially does not bind to the gangliosides GM1, GM2, GD1a, GD1b and GD2, the binding of the antibody to the gangliosides having been determined by immune staining after thin layer chromatographic separation of the gangliosides. The present invention also provides a process for the production of human monoclonal antibodies directed against melanoma, wherein, without previous immunization, B-lymphocytes are isolated from a healthy person, the isolated B-lymphocytes are immortalized, antibodies from the immortalized B-lymphocytes are screened by immune-histochemical analysis for binding against melanoma and/or melanoma metastases, the positively reacting B-lymphocytes are selected, cultured and monoclonal antibodies obtained therefrom.

The invention concerns human monoclonal antibodies of the IgG isotype against human pancreatic islet cells which can be obtained by immortalizing human lymphocytes of prediabetics or diabetics, treating the culture supernatant of the immortalized cells with a conjugate of antibodies against human Fc &ggr; and a label, subsequently treating with human immunoglobulin, incubating with immobilized human pancreatic islet cells identifying an immortalized human cell culture which produces an antibody against pancreatic islet cells via determination of the label bound to the immobilized islet cells, isolating a human immortalized cell which produces this antibody, propagating this immortalized cell and isolating the monoclonal antibody produced by these cells. The invention also concerns a process for the isolation of an islet cell antigen to which such antibodies bind as well as a method for the determination of antibodies against an islet cell antigen of the pancreas.
摘要:
The invention presents a method for the culturing of mammalian cells. This method involves the use of a bioreactor, which contains a sample of mammalian cells in a culture medium containing large molecules. Positioned inside the bioreactor is a semipermeable membrane which defines a space separated from the bioreactor by the semipermeable membrane. A nutrient medium flows through this separated space and, via virtue of the semipermeable nature of the separating membrane, nutrient pass therethrough into the culture medium, while cellular waste products pass into the separated space. The semipermeable membrane is selected so that the cells and large molecules, such as proteinaceous materials, cannot pass through the membrane, but remain in the bioreactor.
摘要:
The invention addresses DNA-protein-complexes, proteins, DNA sequences and antibodies that are suitable for the detection of cells with an unlimited proliferation and tumor-formation potential. The invention further addresses methods for obtaining such proteins or DNA sequences and methods for identifying animal and human cells with with an unlimited proliferation and tumor-formation potential using such proteins, DNA sequences or antibodies.
