[Comparative characteristics of some parameters of the cell nucleus in the series myeloma-hybridoma-lymphocyte].

A comparative study of several parameters of the cell nuclei of hybridoma MLC-1c and its parent cells--myeloma X-63.Ag8.653 and spleen lymphocytes of Balb/c mice, has been carried out. The results of cytogenetic studies suggest that although the hybridoma and myeloma cell lines used in this study are rather stable, they contain some proportion of the altered chromosomal material. Two-dimensional electrophoresis performed according to O'Farrell revealed that the similarity between the relative presentation and reciprocal location of the nuclear proteins expressed by the myeloma and the hybridoma was greater than that between these cell lines and lymphocytes. Probing of the chromatin structure by micrococcal nuclease showed no significant differences in the degree of nuclease resistance of chromatin between myeloma, hybridoma and lymphoid cells. A comparative study of the Ca/Mg-dependent endonuclease activity of the nuclei in situ and in nuclear extracts demonstrated that whereas its content in lymphocytes was rather high, in myeloma and hybridoma it was practically absent. At the same time, cell nucleus extracts of the myeloma and the hybridoma contained high amounts of DNA-binding proteins which were undetectable in mouse spleen lymphocytes.
