Generation of Murine Monoclonal Antibodies by Hybridoma Technology

Induction of abundant antibody formation with a protein-cellulose complex in mice
A method is described for immunizing mice with a protein-cellulose complex obtained by covalent coupling of antigenic protein molecules to suspended cellulose particles. Primary immunization of the animals with the complex led to a pronounced immune response persisting for 20-30 days. Subsequent administration of the same antigen in a soluble form resulted in extremely active antibody formation equal to or better than that induced with Freund's complete adjuvant. In BALB/c mice the antibody response was about ten times greater than in the C57BL/6 strain.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...
