Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
The patient was actively immunized with autologous tumor antigen.
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) were transformed with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) derived from the B95-8 marmoset cell line.
CO 88BV59-1 cells produce monoclonal antibody 88BV59 that has been shown to recognize colon tumor associated antigen (CTAA) 16.88, also referred to as CTA #1.
Both the 88BV59 antibody and the 16-88 antibody recognize the same tumor associated antigen, but react with different epitopes on that antigen.
The 16-88 antibody (LiCO 16-88) is available as ATCC HB-8495.
The CO 88BV59 cell line was fused with a human-mouse heteromyeloma to produce a cell line designated Co88BV59H21-2 (ATCC CRL-11538).
Co88BV59H21-2 was then exposed to EBV under conditions suitable for transformation to produce Co88BV59H21-2V67-66 (ATCC CRL-11539).
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM; ATCC 30-2005). To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum (FBS; ATCC 30-2020) to a final concentration of 20%.
Complete growth medium described above supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO. Cell culture tested DMSO is available as ATCC Catalog No. 4-X.
