✦ Synopsis
Peripheral blood lymphocytes from an individual, recently boosted with tetanus toxoid (TT), were transformed with Epstein-Barr virus. No antigen-specific selection nor stimulation of B cells was performed prior to transformation. One stable cell line, designated CLB-Hu-TT-1, was established. This cell line has a doubling time of 24 h and yields 10 micrograms/ml of a monoclonal IgG1, kappa anti-TT antibody in bulk cultures. The antibody is biologically active in that it can protect mice against the effects of tetanus toxin. The cell line has been characterized with regard to some cytoplasmic and membrane markers.

Human lymphocytes that produce anti-pneumococcal antibodies were separated and immortalized by Epstein-Barr virus and then cloned. One clone (NAD-Sel) produces an IgA, kappa antibody which is specific for the polysaccharides of type 8 pneumococcus, while not reactive with any of the polysaccharides
