Highly purified recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (rbFGF) and acidic FGF (aFGF) stimulated the proliferation of human-human (h-h) hybridomas to the extent of over four-fold from a low cell density such as 1 x 10(3) cells per ml in a serum-free medium in 24-well plates.

โฆ Synopsis
The presence of a highly purified recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) increased the production of immunoglobulin (IgM or IgG) by human-human hybridomas to 1.5-2.0 times the production by untreated cells. However, these cells did not react with anti-Tac (IL-2 receptor o0 antibody. To enhance the response of the hybridoma cells to rIL-2, Tac gene was introduced by co-transfection with Tac gene expression plasmid pTB459 and G418 resistant gene expression plasmid pRSVneo. Tac cDNA transfected hybridoma was induced to produce 6 times as much IgG by rIL-2 as was the control. This antibody production promoting phenomenon mediated by rIL-2 was depressed by anti-Tac antibody.
