<p>Monoclonal antibody (I) specific for an epitope unique to an inactivated feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)-encoded glycoprotein, is new. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) preparation of (I); and (2) a hybridoma cell line suitable for obtaining monoclonal antibodies specific for an epitope unique to an inactivated FIV-encoded glycoprotein prepared by immunizing a suitable host with a partially purified, inactivated FIV, screening the host for high FIV-specific antibody response, and fusing splenocytes from the host with a suitable myeloma cell line, and screening hybridomas for specific reactivity with inactivated FIV.</p> |
