Etanercept (Amgen Inc, Thousand Oaks, CA) is a human soluble p75 tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-human-IgG1 (hup75 TNFR-huIgG1) fusion protein used in the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases in humans, including rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and psoriasis. To be able to study the effects of the soluble receptor fusion protein in mouse models, including those that mimic human granulomatous infections, a murine soluble p75-TNF receptor-murine IgG1 (murine p75-murine IgG1) fusion protein had to be constructed. This article discusses the generation, large-scale production, and purification of this molecule.

Hybridoma Technology

Hybridoma technology is used for the large-scale production of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies bind to only a single antigenic determinant or epitope. Such antibodies are used in research, diagnostics, and disease therapy. The hybridoma technology established in 1975 by Georges Köhler and Cesar Milstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1984 for revolutionizing research and therapy.
