Production of Soluble Human Erythropoietin Receptor
A. Isolation of Clones for Expression of Soluble Human Erythropoietin Receptor.
[0040]Using a clone containing the human erythropoietin receptor as described by Jones et al. supra, the PCR technique was used to obtain a clone for expression of soluble human erythropoietin receptor (sHuEPOR). Primers for PCR amplification of human erthropoietin receptor were:
5′ primer:(SEQ. ID NO: 1)5′ -CTC CAA GCT TGC CGT CAC CAT GGA CCA CCT CGGGGC GTC CCT-3′;and3′ primer:(SEQ. ID NO: 2)5′-CAG GTC TAG ATT ACT AGG GAT CCA GGT CGC TAGGC-3′.
[0041]PCR reactions were carried out using 2.5 ng of a plasmid containing human EPOR, 5 pmol of each of the above oligonucleotide primers, 10 mM Tris HCl (pH 8.3), 50 mM KCl, 1.5 mM Mg Cl2, 200 μM each dNTP and 1 unit of Taq polymerase. Amplification was for 5 cycles of 30 sec. at 94° C., 1 min. at 50° C., 1 min at 72° C., followed by 20 cycles of 30 sec. at 94° C., 1 min. at 55° C., 1 min at 72° C. DNA was purified ...

Purification of Soluble Human Erythropoietin Receptor
[0047]Four different preparations of soluble recombinant human EPOR were made. In the first preparation, Epoxy-activated SEPHAROSE 6B (Pharmacia, Piscataway, N.J.) is coupled with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) essentially as per manufacturer's instructions. 218 mg of rHuEPO in 4.5 mL of 32 mM ZnCl2 is added to 7.2 g of Epoxy-activated SEPHAROSE 6 B previously hydrated and washed with H2O. This slurry is titrated to pH 10.8 then mixed overnight at room temperature. Any remaining reactive groups are then blocked by addition of ethanolamine to a final concentration of 1 M and mixed for 4 hours at room temperature. The subsequent steps are performed at 8°±2° C. The coupled resin (Epoxy-EPO) is packed into a column and washed with alternating cycles of 0.5 M NaCl / 0.1 M HOAc pH 4 and 0.5 M NaCl / 0.1 M Borate pH 8. The column is equilibrated with 140 mM NaCl / 10 mM Tris pH 7.6 (TBS). It is loaded with 1560 mL of roller bottle p...

Preparation and Screening of Hybridoma Cell Lines
A. Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (EIA)
[0051]EIAs were initially performed to determine serum antibody (Ab) titres of individual animals, and later for screening of potential hybridomas. Flat bottom, high-binding, 96-well microtitration EIA / RIA plates (Costar Corporation, Cambridge, Mass.) were coated with purified sHuEPOR at 5 ug per ml carbonate-bicarbonate buffer, pH 9.2 (0.015 M Na2CO3, 0.035 M NaHCO3). Fifty μl of the Ab were added to each well. Plates were then covered with acetate film (ICN Biomedicals, Inc., Costa Mesa, Calif.) and were incubated at room temperature (RT) on a rocking platform for 2 hours or over-night at 4° C. sHuEPOR lot #1 was used after the first and second boost, lot #2 was used after the third boost. sHuEPOR lots #3 and 4 were used for screening of hybridomas. Plates were blocked for 30 minutes at RT with 250 μl per well 5% BSA solution prepared by mixing 1 part BSA diluent / blocking solution concentrat...
