Recombinant Human-Mouse Chimeric Monoclonal Antibody Specific for Human Adenocarcinoma Associated Antigen

Abstract
We have recently described a class-switched (IgM to IgG1) human-mouse chimeric antibody. In the present study, a human-mouse chimeric antibody specific for human adenocarcinoma-assocated atigen YH206 antigen was costrcted by fusing murine varible region genes (Vκ and VH) to human cnstant region genes (γ1,κ) The murine variable domain genes were isolated from a funconal murine hybridoma cell line, YH206, which secreted IgM monoclonal antibody specific for YH206 antgen. The fusion gens of heavy and light chins were introduced into the immunoglobulin non-prodcing mouse myeloma cell line X63-Ag8.653 by electroporation. We obtained transformants which secreted class-switched human-mouse chimeric antibodies specific for YH206 antigen. A dot immunobinding assay demonstrated that the class-switched chimeric antibody retained the ability to bind to the YH206 antigen.
