I'm looking for a tumor cell line expressing OVA protein on the cell surface so that anti-OVA antibody in sera can bind to the cell through OVA protein.
Does anyone has that cell line or know where can I get it from?
Hi, I would warmly suggest you to use the RIP-mOVA mice which express a membrane-bound form of ovalbumin under the dictates of the rat insulin gene promoter, consequently in the pancreatic islets and thymus (also, aberrantly, in the kidneys and testis). Please find attached the original paper. If you're specifically looking for a tumor cell line expressing OVA on the cell membrane, i would ask either Dr. Marc Jenkins (Univ. Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN) or Thomas F. Tedder's (Duke University, Durham, NC) groups for a stable B16/F10 melanoma cell line expressing membrane-bound OVA (B16/F10/mOVA). The paper is attached for further information. I hope this will help you!
I really appreciate your kindness. I read the 2nd paper and I emailed to Mr. Marc Jenkine and was said that he has already gave the plasmid to Dr. Thomas F. Tedder for making the cell line, and then I did email to Dr. Thomas 5days ago but he must be very busy so that doesnt check my email yet, i guess. I got a help from a professor at Havard Uni. So i think i can obtain cell line express membrane -bound OVA from the prof.
Anyway, From the bottom of my heart, I'm really happy when reading your response on my question. Thank you very much.
