Objective:
To characterize the specific monoclonal antibodies to Aspergillus conidia.
Methods:
Flow cytometry was used to examine the reactivity of the specific monoclonal antibodies to Aspergillus conidia.
Results:
Both the monoclonal antibodies MA3 and Con2 showed specific reactivity to Aspergillus conidia suspensions. MA3 was capable of binding to the conidia of A.fumigatus, A.flavus, A.niger and A.terreus, while Con2 was reactive only to the conidia of A.fumigatus.
Conclusion:
Two specific monoclonal antibodies (MA3 and Con2) to Aspergillus conidia have been obtained.
