Abstract

Using different strategies, three mouse hybridoma lines (IgGl, IgG2a, IgM), were adapted to grow in three different serum-free media (BioWHITTAKER): UltraCULTURETM, U1traDOMATM and UltraDOMA-PFTM. According to the characteristics of clones, adaptation to UltraDOMATM and UltraDOMA-PFTM started from UltraCULTURETM and/or FBS-DMEM grown cells. Cell growth, antibody producing activity on a per cell basis and karyological analysis were regularly checked all along the adaptation procedure and over a several month period after transferring cells to serum-free conditions. Results are discussed with respect to the cell line, the cell generation number and the definition of the cell culture environment.
