It is a mouse fusion cell line derived from Sp2/0 cells that had been transfected with high-titer L6PNL recombinant retrovirus carrying a mouse interleukin-6 (IL-6) cDNA under the transcriptional control of the viral LTR and the neo gene encoding bacterial neomycin phosphotransferase (G418 resistance). Sp2/IL-6 cells secrete IL-6 and are an improved myeloma fusion parent in terms of both the relative number of viable B cell hybridomas producing immunoglobulin and the proportion of hybridomas producing antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies. Sp2/IL-6 cells secrete IL-6 and are an improved myeloma fusion parent in terms of both the relative number of viable B cell hybridomas producing immunoglobulin and the proportion of hybridomas producing antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies. Sp2/mIL-6 cells have stably incorporated in their genome approximately six copies of the retroviral vector L6PNL and constitutively secrete large quantities of mouse IL-6 (10,000 units/ml). |
| Derivation | The Sp2/mIL-6 line was established by R. Hawley and T. Hawley of the Sunnybrook Health Centre, Toronto, Canada. It is a mouse fusion cell line derived from Sp2/0 cells that had been transfected with high-titer L6PNL recombinant retrovirus carrying a mouse interleukin-6 (IL-6) cDNA under the transcriptional control of the viral LTR and the neo gene encoding bacterial neomycin phosphotransferase (G418 resistance). |

| Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC Hybri-Care Medium, Catalog No. 46-X. Hybri-Care Medium is supplied as a powder and should be reconstituted in 1 L cell-culture-grade water. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium:
|
|---|---|
| Subculturing | Protocol: Cultures can be maintained by addition or replacement of fresh medium. Start new cultures at 2 X 10(5) cells/ml and subculture before the cell density reaches 2 X 10(6) cells/ml. Medium Renewal: Add fresh medium every 2 to 4 days (depending on cell density) |
| Culture Conditions | Temperature: 37.0°C |
