Monoclonal antibody specific for 20K human growth hormone and a cell line producing the monoclonal antibody

摘要

An animal cell capable of producing an antibody specific to a human growth hormone having a molecular weight of 20,000 (20 k hGH) was prepared from an animal immunized with 20 k hGH. The animal cell was fused with a myeloma cell to produce a monoclonal antibody which specifically reacted to 20 k hGH, but substantially not to 22 k hGH. The monoclonal antibody was useful for immunoassay of 20 k hGH.
