Abstract
Class-switched, affinity-matured murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) producing cell lines reactive with PED/PEA-15 were generated and isolated in less than 4 weeks following polynucleotide immunizations using only 5 μg of DNA in conjunction with the Powderject gene gun. Somatic fusions of peripheral lymph node cells were performed 13 days after initiating delivery of DNA encoding the target antigen. The data presented demonstrates the rapid production, identification, and characterization of class-switched, affinity-matured MAbs that bind PED/PEA-15. The reported strategy enabled the rapid development of MAbs that are useful in enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay (ELISA), Western blotting, and immunoprecipitations.Keywords
