A Balb/c mouse was immunized with a crude soluble antigen of Opisthorchis viverrini adult worms (OVAA) over a period of 7 months. Spleen cells from the immune mouse were fused with Sp2/0 myeloma cells. Among the 264 tissue culture wells containing the fused cells, cells of 96 wells (36%) produced antibodies to the immunizing agent. Antibodies produced by cells in several wells reacted with antigens from other species of parasite. Cells of 17 wells produced antibodies specific only to OVAA, thus cells from three representative wells were cloned by limiting dilution. Hybrids obtained produced antibodies which could be classified according to their tissue specificities into three groups. The first group of antibodies reacted strongly to the worm integument and weakly with the muscles while those belonging to the second group reacted only to muscles of the worms. The monoclonal antibodies of the third group gave a positive reaction to both muscles and tegument.

D009891 Opisthorchis A genus of trematode liver flukes of the family Opisthorchidae. It consists of the following species: O. felineus, O. noverca (Amphimerus noverca), and O. viverrini. The intermediate hosts are snails, fish, and AMPHIBIANS. Opisthorchis felineus,Opisthorchis viverrini,Opisthorchi,Opisthorchis viverrinus,viverrini, Opisthorchis
D006825 Hybridomas Cells artificially created by fusion of activated lymphocytes with neoplastic cells. The resulting hybrid cells are cloned and produce pure MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES or T-cell products, identical to those produced by the immunologically competent parent cell. Hybridoma
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
