MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES TO MYCOSPHAERELLA SPECIES

摘要

The invention relates to monoclonal antibodies that react specifically with members of the genus Mycosphaerella and hybridomas that produce such antibodies. The invention 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 Mycosphaerella, and a method of obtaining monoclonal antibodies therefrom. Methods and kits for diagnosing Mycosphaerella infections in plant material using such monoclonal antibodies are also within the scope of the invention.
