描述
ClonaCell™-HY Hybridoma Kit contains media and reagents for all steps in hybridoma development and monoclonal antibody production. The ClonaCell™-HY method uses a methylcellulose-based semi-solid selective medium to combine hybridoma selection and cloning into one step. Individual parental hybridoma clones and their progeny remain localized together in the semi-solid medium as they grow to form distinct colonies. This prevents the loss of rare clones by overgrowth from faster-growing cells, as can occur during selection in a liquid medium. The hybridoma colonies can be easily picked from the semi-solid medium by manual or robotic methods and dispersed into a liquid growth medium for screening and expansion. This kit has been verified for use in mouse and rat hydridoma development and monoclonal antibody production and reportedly is compatible for production, cloning, and expansion of hybridomas using lymphocytes from a variety of host animals including human, mouse, rat, and hamster.
