A myeloma cell-line transformed with a vector including a gene coding for a eukariotic polypeptide and a non-immunoglobulin promoter such that expression occurs of the gene coding for the eukariotic polypeptide, directed by the non-immunoglobulin promoter. The promoter may be a viral promoter, such as an SV40 promoter, a Rous sarcoma virus long terminal repeat or a Moloney murine leukemia long terminal repeat, or a non-viral promoter such as the mouse metallothionein promoter. Rat and mouse host myeloma cell-lines such as the rat YB2/3.0 Ag20 hybridoma, the mouse SP-20 Ag hybridoma and the mouse NSO hybridoma are employed. The production of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is exemplified. |
