The mouse-mouse hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) for ABO blood group determination were cultivated for 10 days in 25 cm2 Roux bottles using standard cultivation medium (DMEM) with different foetal-calf serum (FCS) concentrations (2-13%). The highest specific production rates (200-1100 micrograms/10(6) cells/day) for MAbs were measured at the end of the cultivation: this phenomenon could be explained by advanced cell death and liberating the content of the cells into the medium.
