Establishment of hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies to Chlamydia psittaci.
Eleven stable anti-Chlamydia hybrid clones by fusions between X63-Ag8653 myelomas and immune splenocytes from Chlamydia psittaci immunized F1 (C57BL6 X BALB/c) mice have been established which react with the 12 reference Chlamydia strains (seven C. trachomatis and five C. psittaci. Ten of these monoclonal antibodies are directed against the genera-specific epitope (40,000 MW component) for which prolonged immunization seems to be responsible.
