    Abstract:
    Hybridomas producing human monoclonal antibodies against herpes simplex virus were generated by in vitro antigen stimulation before cell fusion. The cell fusion with tonsillar lymphocytes which were stimulated with antigen and/or pokeweed mitogen generated many hybridomas producing human IgG against the virus. A combination of antigen and pokeweed mitogen synergistically enhanced the generation of virus-specific hybridomas. Furthermore, the higher the antibody response of the tonsil, the more virus-specific hybridomas were generated by the cell fusion. These results suggest that cell fusion with in vitro stimulated lymphocytes can be applied to a variety of clinically relevant viruses.
