Abstract: To establish an HGPRT– deficient Hela cell line for creation of hybridoma to produce humanized
monoclonal antibody. Mutation of Hela cells was induced with MNNG and selected in gradient concentrations
of 6-TG. Then, the sensitivity of mutant cells to HAT medium was tested. After the stable Hela-HGPRT– cells were
developed, they were fused with human B lymphocytes and selected in HAT medium.Hela-HGPRT– cells could survive
in medium containing 20 μg/mL 6-TG in the long term and could not live in HAT medium. We also succeeded
in fusing human B lymphocytes with Hela-HGPRT– cells and the hybridoma cells could be continually cultured.
Using the methods of induction with MNNG and screening with 6-TG, we obtained a stable Hela-HGPRT– cell line
and it could be continually cultured. This Hela-HGPRT– cells could be used in the research of cell fusion.
