Monoclonal antibodies to Coxiella burnetii that cross-react with strain Nine Mile.
Results are presented to show the binding properties of five monoclonal antibodies directed to Coxiella burnetii Priscilla with cross-reactions to the Nine Mile strain. The monoclonal antibodies preferentially recognize phase I epitopes by ELISA and recognize phase II epitopes by immunoblotting but do not allow differentiation between so-called chronic and acute strains of C. burnetii. The only difference in reactivity was in the staining pattern revealed after reactions with lipopolysaccharide I antigens.
