Abstract

Compositions and methods are disclosed herein for producing one or more immunoglobulins in an isolated cytotoxic B lymphocyte cell line. An isolated cell line includes an isolated B lymphocyte cell line capable of expressing at least one exogenously incorporated membrane immunoglobulin reactive to a first antigen and at least one endogenous secreted immunoglobulin reactive to a second antigen, and further capable of expressing at least one exogenously incorporated recombinant B cell receptor that signals for expression of cytotoxic effector molecules.

Claims (71)

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein activating the at least one exogenously incorporated membrane immunoglobulin with the first antigen is capable of controlling expression of the at least one exogenously incorporated nucleic acid encoding at least one secreted immunoglobulin reactive to the second antigen.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the at least one isolated B lymphocyte cell line includes at least one of naive B lymphocytes, immature B lymphocytes, transitional B lymphocytes, mature B lymphocytes, follicular B lymphocytes, memory B lymphocytes, plasmablasts, or plasma cells.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the at least one isolated B lymphocyte cell line includes at least one memory B lymphocyte.

16. A method for treating a disease in a vertebrate subject with an immunotherapeutic product comprising:

introducing into at least one B lymphocyte cell line at least one exogenous membrane immunoglobulin reactive to at least one first antigen to produce at least one first B lymphocyte cell line;

selecting the at least one first B lymphocyte cell line expressing the membrane immunoglobulin reactive to the at least one first antigen;
