Abstract

The paper summarizes the data concerning the production and study of monoclonal antibodies (MAb) to the diagnostically significant glanders and melioidosis bacillus antigens. It evaluates the efficiency of using MAb in the gel immunodiffusion and agglutination tests as a basis of new-generation preparations for fluorescent antibody assay, indirect hemagglutination test which are used while detecting and identifying pathogenic pseudomonads. The paper defines the quality indices for monoclonal luminescent immunoglobulins and provides evidence for the benefits of monoclonal diagnostic agents over polyclonal analogues.

Antibodies: Agglutination

Antibody-mediated agglutination is the clumping of cells in the presence of antibody, which binds multiple cells together. This enhances the clearance of pathogens. Find the latest research on antibody-mediated agglutination here.
