I seem to remember a debate in the past, I can't recall whether it was in
this newsgroup or elsewhere, about the detection and selection of the best
antibody producing clones on the basis of surface immunoglobulin expression
levels, i.e., that in any given line, those cells with the highest density
of surface Ig were (potentially) the best antibody producers. Does anyone
recall this, know of any published data, or have any insights or experience
on this issue? Thanks, HTP
