BF-11 Rat x Mouse Hybridoma, ECACC 95050413

Human erythropoietin

Immunological studies, isolation of erythropoietin by immuno-affinity methods.

The isotype of the monoclonal antibody produced by this cell line is rat IgG2a.

Rat ACI spleen x Mouse Sp2/0 Ag-14

The BF-11 hybridoma cell line secretes a rat monoclonal antibody named Epoclonalan that reacts with human erythropoietin. Spleen cells from ACI strain rats that had been immunised with human urinary erythropoietin have been fused with Sp2/0 Ag-14 to produce this cell line. The α, β and asialo forms of human erythropoietin are bound by the antibody to the same extent.
