Monoclonal antibodies and their use in microbiology

Production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies to Aeromanas sobria surface antigens

“…Monoclonal antibodies are desirable reagents for the study of microbial pathogenesis, and are valuable in the serodiagnosis of bacterial infections [24]. We have produced a bank of Mabs to A. sobria clinical isolate 3767 and characterized eight of these with regard to their isotype, antigen specificity, agglutinability, and ability to inhibit HA and HEp-2 cell adherence.…”
