Abstract

An effective method has been developed for laboratory scale production of IgG. Hybridomas were cultured in serum-free media with 2% IgG-free ascites. Cell density of up to 3.55 × 10 6cells/ml and antibody concentration of 135μ g/ml after purification were abtained, which is four time more than total production of that of IgG concentration in serum-free media. This in vitro method allows great improvement in antibodies production in batch tissue culture. The method reported here is easy to handle and is economical and universally adaptable.
