Date Dec. 18, 1997Disclosed is a hybridoma cell line which produces human antibodies capable of binding to the hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBVsAg), as well as antibodies produced by the cell line. Also disclosed are various uses of said antibodies in the prevention and treatment of HBV infection. Peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from human donors having a high titer of anti HBVsAg antibodies are activated in vitro with pokeweed mitogen and then fused with heteromyeloma cells to generate hybridomas secreting human antibodies having a high affinity and specificity to HBVsAg. |
