Abstract
We report on the establishment of the unique canine multiple myeloma cloned cell lines B4–100 and B4-C4, established from the peripheral blood of a canine patient with suspected lymphoma. The cloned cells were analyzed for morphologic traits, proliferation rates, cell doubling times, as well as canine immunoglobulin production by flow cytometry. The cells were found to express IgE in the cell lysate by western blotting but did not express HGPRT, and were unable to grow in hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine medium. When the cells were fused with canine peripheral blood mononuclear cells in vitro, hybridomas producing canine immunoglobulins in the culture supernatant could be generated. To our knowledge, this is the first report on establishment of canine myeloma cell lines and we submit that these cell lines may provide opportunities for the production of fully caninized antibodies with potential for therapeutic applications.
期刊介绍:
The journal reports basic, comparative and clinical immunology as they pertain to the animal species designated here: livestock, poultry, and fish species that are major food animals and companion animals such as cats, dogs, horses and camels, and wildlife species that act as reservoirs for food, companion or human infectious diseases, or as models for human disease.
Rodent models of infectious diseases that are of importance in the animal species indicated above,when the disease requires a level of containment that is not readily available for larger animal experimentation (ABSL3), will be considered. Papers on rabbits, lizards, guinea pigs, badgers, armadillos, elephants, antelope, and buffalo will be reviewed if the research advances our fundamental understanding of immunology, or if they act as a reservoir of infectious disease for the primary animal species designated above, or for humans. Manuscripts employing other species will be reviewed if justified as fitting into the categories above.
The following topics are appropriate: biology of cells and mechanisms of the immune system, immunochemistry, immunodeficiencies, immunodiagnosis, immunogenetics, immunopathology, immunology of infectious disease and tumors, immunoprophylaxis including vaccine development and delivery, immunological aspects of pregnancy including passive immunity, autoimmuity, neuroimmunology, and transplanatation immunology. Manuscripts that describe new genes and development of tools such as monoclonal antibodies are also of interest when part of a larger biological study. Studies employing extracts or constituents (plant extracts, feed additives or microbiome) must be sufficiently defined to be reproduced in other laboratories and also provide evidence for possible mechanisms and not simply show an effect on the immune system.
