Fusion partner cells
View Patent ↗Fusion partner cells that enable production of heterohybridomas even from cells of species other than mouse were produced by fusing myeloma cells derived from a first animal species with leukemia cells derived from a second animal species, which have an extra S phase in the cell cycle and have the property of diploidizing. Stable production of substances can be achieved by producing heterohybridomas through cell fusion between the fusion partner cells and substance-producing cells of an animal other than mouse.
1. A fusion partner cell obtained by fusing:
(a) a myeloma cell line SP2/O-Ag14, with
(b) a leukemia cell MEG-01 to obtain a fusion partner cell line deposited under accession number FERM BP-10761 in the International Patent Organism Depository.
2. The fusion partner cell of claim 1 , wherein the fusion partner cell is obtained by cultivating the fusion partner cell obtained in a cell culture and collecting the fusion partner cell from the culture.
