摘要:
A rapid, sensitive, non-radioactive diagnostic kit for the direct detection of both Shiga-like toxin, type I, and Shiga-like toxin, type II, produced by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia Coli in food and clinical samples. This diagnostic kit is comprised of a monoclonal antibody capable of detecting Shiga-like toxin, type I, and a monoclonal antibody capable of detecting Shiga-like toxin, type II, together with a chemiluminescing detection reagent with a sensitivity enhancer.
摘要:
Two novel hybridoma cell lines, ATCC #HB-8397 and ATCC #HB-8398 produce monoclonal antibody monospecific to a single determinant shared by a set of three closely related cytoplasmic antigens of Candida albicans. The antigens have molecular weights of 120-135 Kd, 48-52 Kd, and 35-38 Kd. The hybridomas are formed by fusing splenocytes from immunized BALB/c mice with SP2/O-Ag 14 myeloma cells. Monoclonal and monospecific, polyclonal antibodies to these cytoplasmic antigens find application in the immunodiagnosis of Candida infections.A procedure is provided for preparing partially purified cytoplasmic antigen of pathogenic Candida species for administration to splenocyte-donating mice. Also provided is a method for the biochemical purification of cytoplasmic antigen of a pathogenic Candida species used for the preparation of monoclonal and monospecific, polyclonal antisera thereto.
