[The cultivation of hybridoma cells in agarose granules]. / Kul'tivirovanie kletok gibridomy v granulakh iz agarozy.

ABSTRACT

The results of cultivation of agarose gel immobilized hybridoma cells producing monoclonal antibodies to human alpha 2-interferon are presented. The immobilized cultured cells retained the higher viability for 10-28 days without changing the growth medium, in comparison with cultured cells in control suspension. The cells immobilized in agarose gel demonstrated a tendency to polyploidization as was revealed by the technique of DNA cytofluorimetry with Hoechst 33258.
