  • METHOD FOR POLYCLONAL IMMUNOGLOBULIN G PRODUCTION BY HUMAN B CELLS
    Publication number: 20140178361
    Abstract: This application relates to an in vitro method of producing a polyclonal IgG preparation. The method comprises (i) placing a polyclonal B-cell population enriched in IgG-secreting B cells in a culture medium; and (ii) culturing the polyclonal B-cell population under conditions enabling the production of the polyclonal IgG preparation from the polyclonal B-cell population. This improved method enables the production of antibodies (preferably IgG) and facilitates long-term culture of polyclonal B-cell populations.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 28, 2014
    Publication date: June 26, 2014
    Applicants: Héma-Québec, Université Laval
    Inventors: Sonia Neron, Annie Roy, Jessie Farah Fecteau
