title: Isolation of phenylalanine hydroxylase-stimulating monoclonal antibody by rat-myeloma--rat-spleen-cell fusion.
abstract: A monoclonal antibody directed against monkey liver phenylalanine hydroxylase was produced by using a rat-myeloma--rat-spleen-cell-fusion system. This antibody showed the interesting property of increasing mammalian phenylalanine hydroxylase activity more than 2-fold. Perhaps monoclonal antibodies with this effect on other enzyme or proteins could be developed.
