To develop zearalenone-specific monoclonal antibodies, hybridoma cells were produced by fusion of myeloma cells $(P3{\times}63Ag\;V653)$ and spleen cells from BALB/c female mice immunized with zearalenone-oxime coupled to bovine serum albumin (BSA). After screening of antibody titer of them with a sandwich type enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), 5 hybridomas which could produced monoclonal antibodies with a high affinity for zearalenone were selected. The monoclonal antibody produced by Z-2-M26 hybridoma exhibited the high sensitivity to zearalenone and a little cross-reactivity to ${\alpha}-zearalenol$ (11%), but did not react with ${\beta}-zearalenol,\;{\alpha}-zearalenol,\;{\beta}-zearalenol$ and DON. In conclusion, the developed monoclonal antibody appeared to be a very promising immunoreagent for the future development of a specific and sensitive quantitative ELISA for zearalenone.

Biopolymer membrane was prepared using two oppositely charged natural biopolymers. The biopolymer membrane was used for the encapsulation of two hybridoma cell lines(ATCC CRL-1606, ATCC HB-8852) to produce monoclonal antibodies. In order to reduce the down stream steps, the pre size of the membrane was controlled to retain the monoclonal antibodies in the capsules based on the diffusion experiments with standard proteins. T-flask culture showed cell densities of 8$\times$107 cells/mL and 3$\times$107 cells/mL, and MAb concentrations of 506$\mu$g/mL and 109$\mu$g/mL for encapsulated ATCC CRL-1606 and HB-8852, respectively. Two liter perfusion cultures with encapsulated ATCC HB-8852 were performed to enhance the MAb production. The MAb production of the encapsulated hybridoma increased considerably comparing to the culture using silicon tubing for oxygen transfer.

The biopolymer membrane was used for the encapsulation of two hybridoma cell lines(ATCC CRL-1606, ATCC BH-8852) to produce monoclonal antibodies. In order to reduce the down stream steps, the pore size of the membrane was controlled to retain the monoclonal antibodies in the capsules based on the diffusion experiments with standard proteins. T-flask culture showed cell densities of 8$\times$107cells/mL 3$\times$107cells/mL, and MAb concentrations of 506 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL and 109$\mu\textrm{g}$/mL for encapsulated ATCC CRL-1606 and HB-8852, respectively.

BSA/acids component in serum free medium (SFM) developed for the culture of hybridoma cell line, KA112, was replaced by acids/Pluronic F-68 emulsion. Protein content of SFM was minimized, and increased maximum cell density was obtained in serum-free lipids supplemented medium (SFLSM). Cell growth promotion effect of the emulsion was not affected by filtration with 0.2$\mu$m filter.

Up to now, 10% Fetal Bovine Serum(FBS(V/V)) was added to basal medium for the cultivation of hybridoma. For the cultivation of hybridoma cell line, CH07E02, against colon cancer, serum concentration was reduced to 3% FBS without influence on cell growth and maximum cell concentration. By the addition of cell growth promoting substances-insulin (I), pyruvate (P), oxaloacetate(O), Pluronic F-68(P) and 2-mercaptoethanol(2-ME)-to 1% FBS medium, a cell density higher than that with 1% FBS medium alone was achieved. FBS 3% medium was replaced by very cheap 2% Calf Serum (CS) medium without influence on cell growth rate and concentration. Cells grew vigorously in 0.5% CS＋IPOP medium. This composition was used during suspension culture and exhibited good viability and high specific growth rate.

In hybridoma cell culture, $NH_4{^+}$ is the most important toxic byproduct so far identified. It has been postulated that $NH_4{^+}$, which is similar to $K^+$ in size, is taken up non-specifically by the cells through a potassium transport system, and that the addition of $K^+$ to the culture medium may have a detoxifying effect of $NH_4{^+}$. Thus, in this article the effects of high $K^+$ concentrations in the range of 10 mM to 60mM on hybridoma cell growth and metabolism were investigated. No significant differences in growth were found for $K^+$ concentrations up to 40 mM, but cell death in the death phase was slightly delayed in the cultures with $K^+$ addition. At 60mM, growth was initially poor but the cells could be adapted after approximately 13 passages. With similar growth levels for high $K^+$ concentrations having been Identified in batch cultivations using basal medium, we are currently investigating how such high levels of $K^+$ will affect cell growth in fortified batch cultures where the accumulation of $NH_4{^+}$ is more problematical.

In our previous studies, we reported that hybridoma B-lymphocytes can be used to determine the virulence of Listeria species in an in vitro cytotoxicity assay. Here, we examined the cytopathic effect, i.e., membrane damage and the nature of cell death induced by Listeria monocytogenes on murine hybridoma B-lymphocytes (Ped-2E9). Membrane damage was assessed by microscopic analyses and by measuring the release of intracellular alkaline phosphatase(AP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Cell death was determined by DNA fragmentation analyses using agarose gel electrophoresis. Infection by listeriolysin O (LLO)-producing L. monocytogenes strains induced substantial amounts of AP and LDH release from Ped-2E9 hybridoma B-cells, suggesting severe membrane damage in these cells, while an LLO-negative L. monocytogenes mutant strain had no effect. An LLO-producing recombinant L. innocua ($prifA^+hly^+$) strain also induced high AP and LDH release and cytopathic changes in Ped-2E9 cells. Light or scanning electron microscopic examination revealed L. monocytogenes mediated membrane destabilization, pore formation, intense cytoplasmic granulation, bleb formation, and lysis of Ped-2E9 cells. LLO-producing L. monocytogenes and L. innocua ($prifA^{+}hly{^}+$) also induced ladder-like DNA fragmentation in Ped-2E9 cells. Collectively, these results suggest that L. monocytogenes, specifically LLO-producing strains, can induce a severe cytopathic effect leading to apoptosis in hybridoma B-lymphocytes (Ped-2E9).

The role of each supplement in serum-free medium KM3 for the growth of hybridoma and the production of monoclonal antibody was investigated. Transferrin, ethanolamine and bovine serum albumin were shown to be indispensable for the growth of four kinds of hybridoma tested in this work, especially transferrin for Alps 25-3, and ethanolamine for A4W and KW hybridoma. The addition of $\beta$-mercaptoethanol to the culture medium of HCGK showed a good influence of both the cell growth and the production of monoclonal antibody. Upon the experimental results, we suggested a serum-free medium containing a minimum composition for the culture of hybridoma.

The effects of various step-fortifications of the initial medium with amino acids, glucose, and vitamines on the growth and metabolism of a hybridoma cell line in batch cultures were quantified. Comparisons between the metabolic rates of the various cultivations were made for the exponential growth phase. Fortification of the basal medium resulted in higher cell densities through a prolonged growth phase, but the maximum specific growth rate was not affected. The uptake rate of glutamine increased with the addition of amino acids but did not change upon the addition of glucose or vitamines. The specific glucose consumption decreased slightly with the addition of amino acids but increased production of lactate and {{{{ { NH}`_{4 } ^{ +} }}}}. A reciprocal relationship between the yields of {{{{ { NH}`_{4 } ^{+ } }}}} and lactate indicated a joint regulation of glycolysis and glutaminolysis.

Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) cause an acute diarrhea (white scour) in both animals and humans. The disease process initially involves the adherence and colonization of the mucosal surface of the small intestine, followed by the elaboration of a heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) and/or heat-stable enterotoxin (ST). Intestinal adherence or colonization by ETEC is generally mediated by a specific surface-associated pilus (fimbrial) antigen that endows the bacteria with the capacity to adhere to epitherial cell surface. Fourteen monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against pili antigens of ETEC were obtained by cell fusion/hybridoma technique. They were characterized by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), and divided into four groups: specific to K99 antigen (group 1), cross-reactive with K99 and F41 antigens (group 2), specific to K88 antigen (group 3) and specific to 987P and K88 antigens (group 4), respectively. These MAbs demonstrated the distinct pili (K) antigens on the surface of ETEC by IFA, and could be utilized as diagnostic reagent for the identification of ETEC. When eighty-seven field isolates of E. coli from piglet with diarrhea were tested by group 3 MAb, fourty-two strains (48.3%) has K88 pilus antigen suggesting that this is one of the major pilus antigen of ETEC present in fifeld.
