title: Analysis of monoclonal antibodies to Mycobacterium leprae by crossed immunoelectrophoresis.
abstract: Monoclonal antibodies to Mycobacterium leprae were characterized in crossed immunoelectrophoresis and showed markedly different patterns of reactivity with M. leprae lines 2, 7 and 11 respectively. Line 7 corresponds to a cell wall-associated macromolecular complex containing lipid, polysaccharide, and two distinct 36 K and 65 K proteins.
