摘要
It has been developed in this laboratory that a serum-free medium, designated asDMI,is adaptive for long-term culture,freezing and resurgence in liquid nitrogen,and cloningof hybridoma and parental myelomas as well as for cell fusions.In this report,it is describedthat the myeloma cells grown in DMI for more than 3 months maintained their biological charac-teristics such as induction of aseites and subcutaneous somatic tumor in BALB/c mice and toler-ance toward 8-azaguanine,ete..However,the ability of the tumor cells to attach to glass wallwas decreased.The selecting assay of these cells in HAT medium(medium containing hypoxan-thine,aminopterin and thymidine)showed that the death time in DMI was similar to that in theconventional 15％ newborn calf serum-supplemented medium(RPS15).The hybridoma cellsadapted in DMI secrete monoclonal antibodies in quantities comparable to those produced inRPS15.
