Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of generating antibodies directed against cell surface antigens. The method uses as immunogen recombinant insect cells into which have been transfected coding regions for a molecule containing a cell surface antigen. Host animals are immunized with these transfected insect cells to generate antibodies directed against the cell surface antigen. Antibody-producing cells from the host animal are used to generate monoclonal antibody-producing hybridoma cells. Sera and hybridoma supernatants can be tested for the presence of antibodies against the surface antigen, using the transfected cells in a screening assay.
