title: [Production and characterization of monoclonal antibody against the O antigen of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli].
abstract: Spleen cells collected from Balb/c mice immunized with the somatic antigen of Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7 are fused with murine Sp2/0 myeloma cells. A hybridoma cell line specific to E. coli O157 is established after screening and sub-cloning and is designated as 3A5. It belongs to a subtype of IgM and the ascetic titer of the antibody is 1:1 x 10(6). The detection limit is 10(5)-10(6) cfu/ml. This monoclonal antibody(McAb) also has activity with Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli O113:H21.
