title: [Production of monoclonal antibody anti-antigen 5 for Trypanosoma cruzi].
abstract: Monoclonal antibodies against Trypanosoma cruzi have been produced by fusion of Sp 2/0 myeloma cells and splenic lymphocytes from BALB/c Mice immunized with a T. cruzi antigenic fraction. Antigenic studies of these monoclonal antibodies have led to the identification of IgG 1 antibody against the component 5 specific for T. cruzi (cellular clone II 190/151). These monoclonal antibodies will give rise not only to new diagnostic and epidemiological perspectives but will also aid in achieving a better understanding of the biological role of this antigen.
