Production of IgA monoclonal antibodies against influenza A virus
Nineteen IgA monoclonal antibodies against influenza A virus X-31 were obtained following intranasal infection of mice with influenza A virus X-31. It was demonstrated that specificities of IgA monoclonal antibodies are similar to those of IgG monoclonal antibodies. These IgA antibodies might be useful for the study of mucosal immunity against influenza A viruses. Infection may be an easier and better way of producing monoclonal antibodies against some viral agents.
