In this study, the influence of microenvironments on antibody production of hybridoma cells was analyzed using six types of functionalized parylene films, parylene-N and parylene-C (before and after UV radiation), parylene-AM, and parylene-H, and using polystyrene as a negative control. Hybridoma cells were cultured on modified parylene films that produced a monoclonal antibody against the well-known fungal toxin ochratoxin-A. Surface properties were analyzed for each parylene film, such as roughness, chemical functional groups, and hydrophilicity. The proliferation rate of the hybridoma cells was observed for each parylene film by counting the number of adherent cells, and the total amount of produced antibodies from different parylene films was estimated using indirect ELISA. In comparison with the polystyrene, the antibody-production by parylene-H and parylene-AM was estimated to be observed to be as high as 210-244% after the culture of 24 h. These results indicate that the chemical functional groups of the culture plate could influence antibody production. To analyze the influence of the microenvironments of the modified parylene films, we performed cell cycle analysis to estimate the ratio of the G0/G1, S, and G2/M phases of the hybridoma cells on each parylene film. From the normalized proportion of phases of the cell cycle, the difference in antibody production from different surfaces was considered to result from the difference in the proliferation rate of hybridoma cells, which occurred from the different physical and chemical properties of the parylene films. Finally, protein expression was analyzed using an mRNA array to determine the effect of parylene films on protein expression in hybridoma cells. The expression of three antibody production-related genes (CD40, Sox4, and RelB) was analyzed in hybridoma cells cultured on modified parylene films.
