title: [Establishment of hybridoma lines and protective study of monoclonal antibodies against lipid A of endotoxins].
abstract: For developing monoclonal antibodies (MAb) that bound to lipid A of the LPS molecule, we established several hybridomas cell lines by fusion of SP2/0 and spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized by J5 mutant strain of E. coli 0111:B4. Each MAb exhibited a high titer by ELISA assay. Six of MAb were of immunoglobulin G isotype and another one immunoglobulin M. All of these MAb demonstrated different capacity to cross-react with several gram-negative bacteria and their endotoxins. Among them, 9G6 MAb improved the survival rate of mice significantly when administered 2 hours before the challenge by pseudomonas A and E. coli. These findings suggest that MAb will probably be useful in the treatment of sepsis caused by a wide variety of gram-negative bacteria.
