The fusion of spleen cells, taken from BALB/c mice immunized with the purified preparation of L. pneumophila cytolysin, with cells Sp2/0 and NP has been carried out. As a result, hybridoma cells producing IgG1, IgG3 and IgM antibodies to this protein have been obtained. All monoclonal antibodies (McAb) thus obtained react with L. pneumophila strain lysates in the precipitation test, while IgG3 and IgM antibodies react with erythrocyte diagnostic agents prepared from the lysate of L. pneumophila cells in the hemagglutination test. In the Western blot assay, McAb react with the 37 KD protein (cytolysin) and a number of other proteins from L. pneumophila cultures and L. pneumophila cell lysate, but do not react with the species-specific protein with a molecular weight of 29 KD, contained in the outer membrane of L. pneumophila, as well as with other species: L. bozemanii, L. dumoffii, L. longbeachae, L. micdadei. The possibility of using these McAb conjugated with FITC and peroxidase for the rapid diagnosis of Legionella infection is shown.

D003603 Cytotoxins Substances that are toxic to cells; they may be involved in immunity or may be contained in venoms. These are distinguished from CYTOSTATIC AGENTS in degree of effect. Some of them are used as CYTOTOXIC ANTIBIOTICS. The mechanism of action of many of these are as ALKYLATING AGENTS or MITOSIS MODULATORS. Cytolysins,Cytotoxic Agent,Cytotoxic Agents,Cytotoxin,Agent, Cytotoxic
D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.

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.

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
