Construction of hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibody against sweet potato feathery mottle virus and use of antibody for detection of SPFMV.
Two hybridomas stably secreting monoclonal antibodies (McAb) against sweet potato feathery mottle virus (SPFMV) were constructed by fusing mouse myeloma (Sp2/0-Ag14) with mouse splenocytes immunized with SPFMV-LF. The McAb secreted by the two hybridomas specifically reacted with both SPFMV-LF (China strain) and SPFMV-RC (American strain) in dot-blot-ELISA. A large amount of McAb was produced with BALB/c mice. The titer of hybridoma cultured supernatant was 1:256, and that of the ascitic fluids was 1:1 x 10(4); and the immunoglobulins of McAb were IgG2a and IgG3 respectively. The detection of SPFMV-infected sweet potato plants with McAb confirmed that the McAb obtained in this test were desirable for large-scale routine surveys of SPFMV. This study on construction of hybridomas and detection of SPFMV using McAb is the first report in the world.
