    Notes: Human bcl-2 DNA was introduced into mouse hybridoma 2E3 cells and expressed at a high level by using BCMGSneo vector, which reportedly amplifies as multiple copies in the cells independently of their chromosomes. The high expression of bcl-2 in BCMGSneo-bcl-2 transfectants was confirmed by western blotting. In batch cultures, the overexpression of bcl-2 raised the maximum viable cell density by 45%, delayed the initiation of apoptosis by 2 days, and prolonged the viable culture period by 4 days. The delayed initiation of apoptosis was detected by emergence of the ladder pattern on DNA electrophoresis and increase of the dead cell number. The bcl-2 transfectants produced lgG1 fourfold per batch culture in comparison with 2E3 cells transfected with BCMGSneo but not with bcl-2: a little less than twofold due to the improved survival of the cells and more than twofold due to the enhanced lgG1 production rate per cell of the bcl-2 transfectants. The method to engineer hybridoma cells genetically with bcl-2 using BCMGSneo vector for increasing viability and productivity would be widely applied for improving antibody productivity of hybridoma cultures. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Abstract Monoclonal antibody production by hybridoma cells at moderately slowed growth states would be favorable for commercial scale production since cells can devote their resources to performing the differentiated function, immunoglobulin production. We found that a purified recombinant human interleukin-6, which had been reported to support or stimulate proliferation of B cell hybridoma/plasmacytoma cells, suppressed growth of a hybridoma cell line in serum-free medium. In the presence of the interleukin, the growth-suppressed cells were viable for remarkably long periods in batch culture, and after removal of the interleukin from the culture medium, they started to proliferate at their normal growth rate. As the concentration of the interleukin increased in the culture, the growth rate decreased and the specific antibody productivity (antibody production rate per cell) increased to 5-fold of control at 10 U ml−1 (2 ng ml−1) of the interleukin.

    Notes: Abstract Mouse hybridoma 2E3 transfected with human bcl-2 gene survived longer with increasing expression level of bcl-2 when cultured in DME medium supplemented with 9% serum. One of the transfectants, 2E3BCMGbcl-2, overexpressed bcl-2 and could maintain viable cell density higher than the initial density for more than four days at a low 0.5% serum concentration. In comparison a mock transfectant 2E3BCMG remained viable for only one day. However, both hybridomas died out within a day in serum-free medium. These results suggested that bcl-2 needed a small amount of some serum components to suppress apoptosis of the hybridoma. Overexpression of bcl-2 also suppressed apoptosis of the hybridoma induced by glutamine deprivation. When hybridoma 2E3BCMGbcl-2 was inoculated in DME medium supplemented with 9% serum and cultured for 10 d with additional 2% serum feed at day 4 of the culture, viable cell density increased 2-fold and antibody produced 3-fold, in comparison with mock transfected 2E3 cultured in the same manner. The mock transfectant with additional feed of serum at day 4 of the culture showed no difference in viable cell density and antibody production. These results suggested that the mock transfectant committed to apoptosis before day 4 of the culture and the additional serum at day 4 could not reverse the commitment.

    Notes: Abstract Human bcl-2 and bag-1 DNA were introduced into mouse hybridoma 2E3- O cells and expressed. The expression of bcl-2 in BCMGneo-bcl2 transfectants was confirmed by ELISA and that of bag-1 in pZeo-bag1 was confirmed by western blotting. In batch cultures, the over-expression of bcl-2 prolonged the culture period by 2 days and co-expression of bcl-2 and bag-1 prolonged the culture period by 3 days. The delayed increase in the dead cell number in culture of the bcl-2 and bag-1 cotransfectant indicated the additional antiapoptosis effect of bcl-2 and bag-1 cotransfection in comparison with the bcl-2 only transfection. The bcl-2 transfectants (2E3O-Bcl2) produced antibody twofold per batch culture in comparison with 2E3-O cells transfected with BCMGSneo (2E3O-Mock). Enhancement of this MoAb production was due to the improved survival of the cells and was not due to stimulation of antibody production rate per cell by Bcl-2 expression. And the bcl-2 and bag-1 co-transfectant (2E3O-Bcl2-BAG1) produced antibody approximately fourfold of 2E3O-Mock per batch culture. Enhancement of this MoAb production was due to the improved survival of the cells and was partly due to stimulation of MoAb production rate per cell in the non-growing phase by the cotransfection. The method to engineer hybridoma cells genetically with bcl-2 and bag-1 for increasing viability and productivity would be widely applied for improving antibody productivity of hybridoma cultures.
