Cell Line Description
Animals were immunized with a synthetic polypeptide with the sequence LMCQCWRKDPEERPTF corresponding to peptides 494 to 509 of the v-src oncogene (formerly 273 to 284). Spleen cells were fused with Sp2/0 myeloma cells. In ELISA testing, the antibody cross reacts with the homologous region of FES, v-mos, erb B, v-src, FGR, yes, mil, FMS, abl, ros, lck, and MET. Weak activity was detected for PKS and fps. Binding was not detected for c-mos, MOS, SRC, ros, rel, FMS, HIR, TRK, sea, and kit. In immunoblot testing, a protein of approximately 40 kd is detected in fetal brain. The IgG1 reactivity of the antibody with the v-src peptide (494 to 509) was confirmed by ELISA.
Subculturing
Incubate cells at 37°C with 5% CO2 in air atmosphere, renew medium every 2-3 days, start cells at 2x10^5 cells/mL and maintain cultures between 1x10^5-1x10^6 cells/ml
