Hypoxanthine aminopterin thymidine hat

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

Hypoxanthine aminopterin thymidine (HAT) is a selective medium supplement used in cell culture applications. It contains hypoxanthine, aminopterin, and thymidine, which together inhibit the de novo synthesis of nucleic acids, forcing cells to rely on the salvage pathway. This results in the selective growth of only those cells that have the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT), which is necessary for the salvage pathway.

Hybridoma Cell Generation for Monoclonal Antibody Production

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell fusion and mAb production were completed by modifying the Köhler and Milstein method [16] (link). The myeloma cell's immortality and the B cell's ability to produce antibodies has been combined into a single hybridoma cell as a result of the fusion study. Lymphocytes from the spleen and lymph nodes (bronchial, axillary, inguinal, popliteal, and intraperitoneal) were fused with F0 (ATCC CRL 1646) mouse myeloma cells.
Fifty percent polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG, Roskilde, Denmark) was used as the coupling agent and after fusion, the cell mixture was resuspended in DMEM containing hypoxanthine aminopterin thymidine (HAT; Gibco, Waltham, MA), 20% fetal calf serum and antibiotics. Plated in 96-well plates and incubated overnight at 37 °C, 5% CO 2 , and 95% humidity.
Ten to fifteen days after fusion, the wells were screened for antibody selection determined by indirect ELISA. Positive wells were cloned using the limiting dilution method, and macrophages were used as feeder cells.

The fibroblast line GM8148 that contains a normal HSA17, del(17), and mar(17) (Coriell Institute for Medical Research) was grown in Minimal Essential Medium (MEM) alpha, supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Cellgro) and 1X antibiotic-antimycotic solution (Gibco). Somatic cell hybrids containing the normal HSA17 (L65-14A) or del(17) (L65-13A) derived from a fibroblast cell line GM8148 as previously described (Wevrick et al., 1990 (link)) were grown in MEM alpha supplemented with 10% FBS, 1X antibiotic-antimycotic, and 1X hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine (HAT; Gibco). All cells were cultured at 37°C in 5% CO2.

Monoclonal Antibody Generation against rPfeno

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the generation of mAbs directed against various epitopes of rPfeno, 6 weeks old, female BALB/c mice were injected intraperitoneally with 50 µg of purified rPfeno emulsified with Freund’s complete adjuvant. This was followed by booster injections at an interval of 3 weeks for the next 2 months. The best responder mouse was immunized with 250 μg of immunogen (rPfeno) in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) (10 mM Na-Phosphate, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, pH 7.4). Five days later, the splenocytes from this mouse were fused with mouse myeloma SP2/O-Ag14 cells (Sigma-Aldrich) using polyethylene glycol (Merck) as fusogen. After selection in medium containing Hypoxanthine-Aminopterin-Thymidine (HAT, Invitrogen) for a week, the resulting hybrid clones were screened for antibody secretion wherein binding of hybridoma cell culture supernatants to rPfeno was tested by ELISA. Of the fifty seven hybrid clones that showed reactivity to rPfeno in ELISA, thirty four were re-cloned by limiting dilution to obtain pure clones. Generation of hybridomas and production of hybridoma supernatants were carried out by Bioklone Biotech Pvt. Ltd, Chennai, India.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
