ANTI-INFLUENZA TYPE A VIRUS MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY AND IMMUNOASSAY INSTRUMENT USING THE ANTIBODY

摘要

An anti-influenza type A virus monoclonal antibody of high specificity; and an immunoassay instrument comprising the same that is capable of specifically detecting influenza type A viruses. This anti-influenza type A virus monoclonal antibody performs an antigen antibody reaction with the nucleoprotein of 55 to 70 kD molecular weight of influenza type A virus but substantially does not perform any antigen antibody reaction with influenza type B viruses.
