A murine hybridoma with large cytoplasmic inclusions of kappa light chains
DC Reason
A murine hybridoma cell line has been established that consistently forms
large cytoplasmic inclusions. These structures bind antibody specific for
mouse kappa L chain when stained in situ. SDS-PAGE analysis of isolated
inclusion bodies produce a single protein band of approximately 26,000 Mr
that reacts with anti-kappa antibody when transferred to nitrocellulose. No
carbohydrate was detected in association with the purified protein. These
data are consistent with the intracellular retention and deposition of
complete kappa L chain protein.
