Monoclonal antibodies to Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis antigens [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1990
Nocardia asteroides and Nocardia brasiliensis whole-cell extracts were used as antigens to generate monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Six stable hybrid cell lines secreting anti-Nocardia spp. MAbs were obtained. These were characterized by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blot (immunoblot), and immunofluorescence assay.
