IMMORTALIZED VIRUS-SPECIFIC TISSUE CELLS

摘要

An immortalized human tissue cell line formed by fusing a selected human, or non-human primate non-lymphocytic tissue cell with an immortalizing human/mouse hybridoma cell. The tissue cell, and the resulting fusion product cell line is infected or infectable by a selected viral agent, allowing virus-specific cell surface antigens to be identified, and used as a source for generating virus-specific antigens, anti-antigen antibodies, and vaccine compositions.
