MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES TO LEPTOSPHAERIA

摘要

The invention relates to monoclonal antibodies that react specifically with members of the genus Leptosphaeria and hybridomas that produce such antibodies. The inventi on is further directed to a method for making a hybridoma cell line that produces monoclonal antibodies that react specifically with at least one species of Leptosphaeri a, and a method of obtaining monoclonal antibodies therefrom. Methods and kits for diagnosin g Leptosphaeria infections in plant material using such monoclonal antibodies are also within the scope of the invention.
