    Notes: Abstract The enhancement of human monoclonal antibody production by retinoic acid (RA) was evaluated usingthe human-human hybridoma cell line BD9 underserum-free culture condition. The amount of humanIgG secreted by BD9 hybriodmas was enhanced abouteight-fold by treatment with 10-7 M of RA for 4days. Northern blot analysis showed that both mRNAlevels of the IgG light and heavy chains were markedlyincreased by RA when compared with control without RAtreatment. On the other hand, it was found thatcontinuous treatment of cells with RA was not alwaysrequired to exhibit the enhancing effect, suggestingthat RA may act as a trigger for IgG gene expression. The comparison between extra- and intracellular IgGamounts by immunoblot analysis suggests that thesecretion rate of IgG may be accelerated by RAtreatment. These results suggest that RA may be aneffective culture additive for efficient production ofhuman monoclonal antibody using human-humanhybridomas.

    Notes: Abstract The antibody productivity of the human–human hybridoma cell line AE6, which produces the lung cancer specific human monoclonal antibody AE6F4, was enhanced fourfold upon stimulation with 1 μg/ml of vitamin A acetate for one day. The enhancement lasted for about two weeks, and could be repeated by another stimulation with vitamin A acetate. The enhancing effect of vitamin A acetate was influenced by the cell density. Enhancement was clearly observed when the cell density was under 106 cells/ml. However, when the cell density was over 107 cells/ml, enhancement was observed weakly or not at all. Although the enhancing effect of vitamin A acetate is not unique to AE6 cells, not all human–human hybridoma cell lines show increased productivity upon VA acetate stimulation. This study suggests that the response to vitamin A acetate may be related to the properties of a particular fusion partner which the hybridoma cell inherits. The efficacy of vitamin A acetate for production of human monoclonal antibodies using human–human hybridomas is discussed.
