TY - JOUR A1 - Moser, I. A1 - Orskov, I. A1 - Hacker, Jörg A1 - Jann, K. T1 - Characterization of a monoclonal antibody against the fimbrial F8 antigen of Escherichia coli N2 - A monoclonal lgG 1 antibody against F8 fimbriae was obtained with the hybridoma technique using spieen cells from C3H/f rnice immunised with a fimbrial preparation of Escherichia coli 2980 (018ac: K5: H-: FIC, F8) and Sp 2/0 Ag8 myeloma cells. The hybrid cells were cloned twice by lirniting dilution and grown in tissue culture. The monoclonal antibody was purified from culture supernatants on Protein A Sepharose. lt reacted with F8 fimbriae in colony blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoblot after electrotransfer from sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylarnide gel electrophoresis (SOS-PAGE) of fimbrial preparations. The antibody bound to and agglutinated F8-fimbriated bacteria. KW - Infektionsbiologie Y1 - 1986 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-59385 ER -
