title: [Human monoclonal antibodies to synthetic viral peptides].
abstract: Cells producing human antibodies to synthetic viral peptides MH-24 (corresponding to 302-325 residues of HIV-1 gp120) and p107 (main peptide of EBV antigen EBNA-1) were fused with human x mouse heteromyeloma B6B11. The efficacy of specific hybridization was 40%. Hybrid cells H1F2 (MN-specific) and HF4 (p107-specific) were cloned by the limiting dilutions method. Monoclonal antibodies (MAb) were tested in enzyme immunoassay on a panel of synthetic peptides. All resultant MAbs were polyspecific for tested synthetic peptides. The data permit a conclusion that previously detected polyspecificity of human cultural antibodies to virus peptides is due to the true polyspecificity of antigen-binding centers of MAb, but not to the presence of strange cells in the culture.
