title: Use of passive immunization for the production of monoclonal antibodies against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1,6 and 12.
abstract: Hyperimmune sera from BALB/c mice immunized intraperitoneally (IP) with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 were used for passive intraperitoneal (i.p.) immunization of BALB/c mice. The immunized mice were subsequently immunized i.p. with a mixture of A. pleuropneumoniae serotypes 1, 6 and 12. Numerous monoclonal antibodies specific for serotypes 1, 6 and 12 were obtained. Using this immunization scheme antibodies can be obtained against specific antigens from closely related bacteria.
