Abstract: |
Hybridomas producing a monoclonal antibody of the IgG class are produced by cultivating a hybridoma producing a monoclonal antibody belonging to the IgM class in the presence of an antigen reactive with the IgM antibody, and in the presence of thymocytes. This hybridoma production method makes it easy to obtain monoclonal antibodies of the IgG class to a glycolipid or the like to which monoclonal antibodies of the IgG class are difficult to obtain.

+ FIELD OF THE INVENTION
+ FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a method of producing hybridomas which comprises converting (class-switching) a hybridoma capable of producing a monoclonal antibody belonging to the IgM class to a hybridoma capable of producing a monoclonal antibody belonging to the IgG class. The monoclonal antibodies of the IgG class as produced by said hybridomas can be used in the treatment of various diseases more widely as compared with monoclonal antibodies of the IgM class.
