Ho to work with Hybridoma cells

High serum media for the most monoclonal cell lines:

FBS (normal or depleted) 80 ml L – Glutamine (100x) 4 ml Gentamicin (100x) 4 ml DMEM fill up to 400 ml w/o Na pyruvate, with 4,5g/l glucose, with Piridoxine HCL

for cloning: use Hybridoma cloning factor (HCF) (Hybrid – max Hybridoma media supplement #ECO1021N (50 ml)) use @ 10 %



High serum media for Pax7:

FBS (normal or depleted) 80 ml L – Glutamine (100X) 4 ml Pen/ Strep (100x) 4 ml Iscove’s DMEM fill up to 400 ml



in generell: 1) cells are NOT attaching on the bottom of the cell culture flask there are swimming in the media 2) for passaging they should not be detached by Trypsin 3) the cells need to be split 1:5 on Monday and Wednesday and 1:10 on Friday 4) Pax 7 should be grown up in 10% Co2 @ 37 degree, the other one in 5% CO2 @ 37 degree





Thawing of Hybridoma cells

1) thaw a vial of cells quickly @ 37 degree 2) transfer into 10 ml fresh High serum media 3) centrifuge for 3 min @ 1000 rpm 4) remove the supernatant 5) resuspent the pellet into 1 ml HS-media 6) transfer the cells into a well of a 24 well plate 7) take 0.5 ml of cells from the first well into the second well containing 1 ml HS-media 8) take 0.5 ml of cells from the second well into the third well containing 1 ml HS-media 9) take 0.5 ml of cells from the third well into the fourth well containing 1 ml HS-media 10) take 0.5 ml of cells from the forth well and put it back into the first well 11) incubate into the humidified incubator @ 37 degree by 5% (10%) CO2

When splitting the cells at each passage, gradually decrease the HCF concentration from 10% to 5%, 2,5% and 0 (if the cells are already stable, than you can start to grow up the cells also in HS – media w/o HCF). Check every time whether the cells have a good shape and looks healthy. In this way you have resuspended cells into 4 different concentrations. Than you should go up to work in 6 well plates and at the end in a 25 cm2 flask from corning.












Passaging of Hybridoma cells

Materials: - HS- media - 15 ml falcon tube - 25 cm2 corning cell culture flasks (Pax 7 cells need the

Procedure: 1) transfer the media including the cells into the falcon tube 2) centrifuge 3 min @100 rpm 3) remove the supernatant 4) resuspend the pellet into 5 ml fresh media and split 1:5 or 1:10 into new flask including 10 ml fresh HS-media


Freezing Hybridoma cells:

Aliquotes of cells should be made and frozen as backup as soon as possible after defrosting.

Materials: - Freezing media on ice (90% FCS, 10% DMEM) - falcon tube - freezing vials

Procedure: 1) transfer the media including the cells into the falcon tube 2) centrifuge 3 min @100 rpm 3) remove the supernatant 4) resuspent the pellet (around 107 cells/ ml) in 1 ml freezing media 5) leave the cells for 24 hours at -80 degree and than transfer into liquid nitrogen







Preparation of ‘depleted’ serum

Materials: 20 mM Na Phosphate buffer pH 7,5 500 ml HiTrap protein G column 1 ml 0.1M glycine pH 2,7 20 ml 1M Tris pH 9,0 10 ml FCS 100 ml PBS (10x) 10 ml Tubing Peristaltic pump Beakers

Procedure: 1) thaw 100 ml FCS 2) add 10x PBS 1/10th of the volume of FCS 3) start pumping sterile H2O through the HiTrap protein G column at 1ml/min → at least 5 ml 4) when finished stop the pump (in the tubing shouldn’t come air!!!), change into the 20 mM Na Phosphate buffer pH 7,5 and start to pump at least 15 ml 5) put inlet of column at bottom of the flask containing the FCS, put outlet of the column (HiTrap) just above the FCS solution (in the same bottle) and run the FCS through 1 ml/ 1 min → circulate for 1 – 1.5 hours (on ice) or o/n @ 4 degree 6) save the “depleted” serum 7) sterile filter through 0,22 µm filter 8) freeze in aliquots 9) be careful!! → now it is 50% serum!!!!


To check the amount of IgG which binds to the column and to check if all IgG was removed from the FCS and to regenerate the HiTrap column:

a) prepare 10 eppendorf tubes for collecting the IgG which sticks to the column in fractions → label with 1 – 10 b) add into each tube 100 µl of 1M Tris pH 9.0 c) take 18 measurement cuvettes (8 for the standard curve and 10 for the fractions) d) thaw a IgG standard ( 1mg/ml) e) prepare the BIORAD reagent solution → dilute the stock 1: 5 (total volume at the end: 25 ml) f) prepare 20% EtOH (500 ml) g) after circulation with about 15 ml Na Phosphate buffer put the inlet of column in a tube with about 25 ml 0.1M glycine pH 2.7 h) turn on the pump and collect 1 ml of eluated AB in the eppendorf tubes containing 100µl 1M Tris pH 9.0 i) wash the HiTrap column by circulation with about 10 ml of 20 mM Na Phosphate buffer j) to store the column: circulate about 10 ml 20% EtOH through column IMPORTANT: for long term storage: in a “humified” environment (the best way would be to store the closed column in a 50 ml FALCON tube containing some drops 20% EtOH)

Check the concentration of the IgG into each fraction:

a) prepare the standard curve: cuvette µl of standard IgG (1mg/ml)

1 → 0 (zero point) 2 → 1 3 → 3 4 → 9 5 → 12 6 → 15 7 → 20 8 → 50

b) 10 µl of each fraction into the other 10 cuvettes c) add into each cuvette 1 ml BIORAD solution mix d) set up a spectrophotometer to Absorbance and OD 595 e) measure first the standards and than the samples f) prepare with the measurements of the standard curve and combine the measurements with this curve to figure out the concentration of each fraction → the last fractions should have the same absorbance like the zero point
