Objective: To investigate the effect of anti-bovine serum B cell clone in mice on preparation of McAb.
Methods: Supernatant of hybridoma cell was double screened with rSIFN-co and BSA by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. After BSA absorption, the inhibition effects on culture supernatant of double positive hybridoma cell clone and rSIFN-co single positive hybridoma cell clones and on normal mouse serum were investigated separately.
Results: One double positive cell clone and three rSIFN-co single positive clones were established. The reaction of rSIFN-co with the supernatant of the double positive clone was inhibited obviously on condition that the supernatant was absorbed with BSA in advance.
Conclusion: In the screening of hybridoma cell, there is rSIFN-co and BSA double positive hybridoma cell clone, which suggests the possible existence of innate anti-BSA B cell clone in mice; they can cause false-positive reaction in the preparation of McAb. Thus, double screening with specific antigen and BSA is beneficial.
