Myeloma Cells
One week prior to the fusion, split myeloma cells into Medium A to ensure that they are well adapted.
Grow up approximately 2 x 107 healthy cells, in mid-log phase, for each fusion.
Fusion
Count the myeloma cells and resuspend to 2 x 107 cells in 30 ml Medium A in a 50 ml tube.
Sacrificed the mouse, saturate in ethanol, and remove the spleen.
Place the spleen in a Petri dish containing 10 ml of Medium A.
Prepare a single cell suspension of the spleen.
Using a Pasteur Pipet, transfer the spleen cells to a 50 ml tube.
Rinse the Petri dish with another 10 ml of Medium A and add to the tube.
Allow the tube to sit for approximately 1 minute to settle the larger pieces of tissue. Transfer the cell suspension to a clean tube, leaving behind the larger pieces of tissue.
Add 10 ml of Medium A to the tube to wash the tissue pieces. Allow to settle. Transfer the medium to the clean tube, combining it with the previous cell suspension.
Centrifuge the splenocyte suspension at 400 g for 10 minutes, RT.
Resuspend the cells in 10 ml of Medium A and count.
Combine 108 viable spleen cells with 2 x 107 myeloma cells in a 50 ml tube. Centrifuge at 400g for 10 minutes.
Discard the supernatant and wash the pellet twice with 40 ml Medium B, pre-warmed to 37oC.
Discard the supernatant. Tap the bottom of the tube to loosen the pellet.
