Enhancingin vitro antibody production rate per cell by applying mouse peritoneal factors

Summary Monoclonal antibody production rateper hybridoma cell was measured as much larger in mouse peritoneal cavity thanin vitro culture. To identify factors enhancing antibody productivity per cell, a hybridoma was culturedin vitro with ascites and peritoneal exudate cells(PEC). Both the ascites and the PEC improved the productivity per cellin vitro. Each chromatograph-fraction of ascites was assayed for the enhancing activity.
