    Abstract:
    Hybridization of peripheral blood lymphocytes from bovine leukemia virus-infected cows with murine myeloma cells resulted in the generation of hybrid cells secreting immunoglobulins composed of various combinations of heavy and light chains of both bovine and murine Ig origin. Some hybrid cells derived from the light-chain producer, but non-secretor murine myeloma NSI cell line, secreted IgM molecules composed of bovine mu-chain linked to bovine and/or murine light chains. Other hybridomas secreted mouse and bovine light-chain dimers and/or monomers, or failed to secrete any Ig polypeptide chain whatsoever. Immunoglobulins secreted by hybridomas obtained upon hybridization of bovine cells with the IgG-secreting murine myeloma P2X63 cell line, contained bovine mu-chain in one of the seven hybridomas obtained, and bovine light chain in two of them. All the cell lines secreted murine light- and gamma-chains.
