Hybridoma Cell Line Optimization Service

Creative Biolabs provides hybridoma cell line optimization services that aim to increase and stabilize the productivity of your original cell line for monoclonal antibody (mAb) production. Regarding your expectations, our innovative technology will be applied to your specific clone or pool, in order to maintain the high quality of your antibody product. Creative Biolabs is dedicated to assisting our clients in obtaining optimized hybridoma cell lines.

Hybridoma Cell Line Optimization Service

Our proprietary know-how is based on a succession of physical stimulation leading to improved cell metabolism and respiratory parameters required for achieving high and sustainable expression of the protein of interest. We develop customized strategies to generate the best hybridoma possible for each antibody produced. In order to provide maximum mAb yield during production, we will examine the viability and the clonality of provided hybridoma through our featured methods.

Each cell line will be evaluated in the following four steps:

1) Biological Testing

This step aims at evaluating cell lines for the presence of murine viruses or mycoplasma.

2) Recovery

Assess the viability of the hybridoma cells in the cryovial.

If the culture viability is low, we attempt to recover it and establish a healthy culture. If the culture viability is acceptable at thaw, recovery work is not required and we move directly to the next step. Once a healthy culture is established, the clonality of the cell line is determined.

3) Clonality Testing

In this step, the fraction of cells secreting mAb in a healthy culture is determined. MAb yield is improved when the clonality of the cell line is high. Failing to determine the clonality of the cell line prior to production may lead to unexpectedly low yields of monoclonal antibodies.

4) Subcloning

If the clonality of the culture is acceptable after step 3, the original culture is used for production work or cell banking work. If the clonality of the culture is unacceptable, Creative Biolabs subclones the original culture by selecting the best antibody-secreting clone. The subclone is used for production or cell banking.

Prevention of Cell Line Drift

A cell line is comprised of a large population of cells. Over time, mutations occur within the population. Some mutations give rise to virulent, non-antibody-producing cells which threaten the security of the cell line if they are permitted to grow. This condition is referred to as cell line drift. Therefore, continuous monitoring and cell line certification are important. At Creative Biolabs, large seed stocks can be maintained for each hybridoma cell line where they are closely monitored for hybridoma viability, the absence of microbes, antibody expression, and isotype uniformity.

After reviving the cell line, percent viability is determined with a trypan blue contrast assay. The cell line is then subcloned in order to assess monoclonality. Antibody activity is assessed with an immunoassay and the percent of specific antibody expression is calculated. The cell line is subcloned with the limiting dilution method to reinstate monoclonality preceding the development of a new cell bank. All cell lines are screened for mold, fungi microbial growth, mycoplasma, and viruses prior to the development of a certified hybridoma bank. Aliquots are stored to ensure the security of the cell line.

Advantages of our Hybridoma Cell Line Optimization Services


Besides, Creative Biolabs is capable of providing optimized mouse myeloma cell lines (NS0, SP2/0, etc) for cell fusion during the process of mAb preparation. Since each hybridoma development project is unique, successful projects will often require that immunization and screening protocols be tailored to the unique needs of the client.
