Title Replacing factor-dependency with that for lysozyme: affordable culture of IL-6-dependent hybridoma by transfecting artificial cell surface receptor.
Journal Biotechnol Bioeng
Abstract Cytokines and growth factors are indispensable for the propagation and maintenance of factor-dependent mammalian cells. However, cytokines are often so expensive that the use of factor-dependent cells for industrial applications such as protein production is often not practical. Based on our previous design of a binary hen egg lysozyme (HEL)-specific receptor composed of portions of the anti-HEL antibody and the erythropoietin receptor, a new pair of chimeric receptors having the intracellular domain of gp130 were made and transfected to an interleukin-6 (IL-6)-dependent hybridoma, 7TD1. The clone expressing the two new receptors showed clear HEL dose-dependent cell growth and monoclonal antibody production in both serum-based and serum-free media without IL-6. These results establish the feasibility of applying receptor design to tailor cells for the inexpensive induction of cell growth for the purpose of producing therapeutic products.
