Abstract
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from donors immunized with hepatitis B vaccine (Pasteur Hevac B) were transformed with Epstein-Barr virus. Two polyclonal cell lines, producing antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen were established and cloned. Seven clones were isolated; they secreted between 10 and 20 micrograms/ml of HBs specific IgG1 kappa or lambda antibody with anti-HBs titer of 300-800 IU/ml. These human antibodies expressed the anti 'a' specificities and had high affinity and avidity; their potential use as reagents for hepatitis B virus detection and for passive immunotherapy is under study.Entities:
