    Notes: Abstract Hybridoma 2E3-O cells were transfected with bcl-2 alone or with bcl-2 and bag-1 in combination. The bcl-2/bag-1 transfectant survived maintaining viability above 75% for almost 5 days when the cells were treated with excess (30 mM) thymidine for arresting cell cycle, whereas the mock transfectant survived for only 2 days, and the bcl-2 alone transfectant lived for 4 days. Owing to this extended viable culture period, the bcl-2/bag-1 transfectant produced twofold amount of antibody in comparison with the mock transfectant in non-proliferating state prepared by the excess thymidine treatment. When their proliferation was arrested by serum limitation, the bcl-2/bag-1 transfectant and the bcl-2 alone transfectant survived for 3 days maintaining viability above 75% while the mock transfectant survived only 1 day. The bcl-2/bag-1 transfectans produced the antibody at the rate three times as high as the bcl-2 alone transfectant and the mock transfectant in non-proliferating state established by serum limitation. Such genetic engineering of hybridoma cells for improving survival in the non-proliferating state will be useful for using nutrients in culture medium efficiently to produce antibody, since nutrients could be diverted from cell proliferation to antibody production in such non-proliferating viable cell culture.

    Notes: Abstract COS, myeloma and HeLa cells, which are commonly used for protein production by cell culture, were transfected with human bcl-2 gene encoded on the shuttle vector BCMGS. Expression of human bcl-2 improved survival of cells remarkably, mildly, or negligibly for COS, myeloma, and HeLa, respectively. Four clones were obtained from the human bcl-2 expressing cell population of COS cells. They expressed human bcl-2 almost at the same level. The viable cell numbers were 6, 2.5, 2.5, and 0.8 times as many for the clones #8, #5, #6, and #7, respectively, as for the control COS cells, when they were cultured at low (0.2%) serum concentration for 9 days. The bcl-2 overexpressing COS cells showed morphology different from that of the control COS cells in serum limited condition. When transfected with mouse lambda protein gene carried by an SV40-derived vector, clone #8 of the bcl-2 transfected COS cells continued the transient expression of lambda protein longer than the control COS cells.
