The Requirement for Hydrocortisone in Antibody-forming Tissue Cultivated in Serum-free Medium

چکیده

It was previously reported from this laboratory that the secondary antibody response can regularly be elicited in vitro from fragments of rabbit lymph node node cultured in Eagle's medium supplemented with normal rabbit serum. Evidence is now presented that physiological levels of hydrocortisone (0.01 to 1.0 microM) can substitute for serum in the culture medium. However, with the omission of serum, serine (0.1 mM) must be included among Eagle's "essential" amino acids for consistent optimal antibody production. In some experiments the addition of insulin (0.5 unit/ml) and vitamin B(12) (0.5 microg/ml) has further enhanced the secondary response in this serum-free medium.

Immobilization can improve the stability of hybridoma antibody productivity in serum-free media.

Hybridoma cells (S3H5/gamma2bA2) were cultivated in spinner flasks with 1% serum media and serum-free media. Monoclonal antibody productivity was maintained in 1% serum media. However, cells in serum-free media showed a decrease in antibody productivity, and it completely disappeared in IMDM-based low protein medium. This loss of antibody productivity was not observed when the cells were immobi...

Isolation and long-term culture of neural stem cells from Acipenser persicus (Borodin, 1897)

In the present study, an in vitro brain cell culture was developed from neural cells of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus). The tissue samples collected from the anterior, middle and posterior regions of the brain were cultivated separately in DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum, antibiotic and antimycotic. The medium was refreshed every 3 days. The cells became confluen...
