    Balbc/c mice were immunized with purified recombinant E. coli-derived human gamma-interferon (HuIFN-gamma). Their spleen cells were fused with a mouse myeloma cell line (Sp2/0). Hybridomas producing antibodies reacting with HuIFN-gamma were screened by a soluble-phase radioimmunoassay using pure 125I-labeled cloned IFN-gamma as antigen, and tested for their ability to neutralize the antiviral activity of IFN. Three hybridomas S1-1, S1-2, and S1-3, were cloned and subcloned and remained stable. Although the antibodies produced by clones S1-1 and S1-2 were both able to neutralize specifically the antiviral activity of natural and recombinant HuIFN-gamma, they appeared to recognize different epitopes on the HuIFN-gamma molecule. The antibodies produced by the S1-3 clone failed to neutralize the antiviral activity of either interferon. The antibodies from all three clones were characterized as IgG1 subclass. Their affinity constants were determined from competitive inhibition curves and ranged from 1 to 4.3 X 10(8) M-1.

    Overview
    Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.

    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.

    Antibody Structure and Classes

    Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are produced by B cells in response to foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses. These proteins are critical for recognizing and neutralizing these substances, protecting the body from potential harm.
    The basic structure of an antibody consists of four protein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. These chains are held together by disulfide bonds and other non-covalent interactions, forming a Y-shaped structure.
