MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES SPECIFICALLY FOR THE ANTIGEN P OF THE HUMAN RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS, PRODUCED AND SECRETED BY THE CELLS HYBRIDOMAS, USEFUL FOR DETECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC OF THE INFECTION CAUSED BY RSV

摘要

The present invention refers to monoclonal antibodies or fragments thereof which are binding to the protein P of the human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) which comprise a variable region of the heavy chain which has a sequence with at least a 90%, 95% or 99% of identity with the SEQ ID No: 1 or SEQ ID 5 or a variable region of the light chain which has a sequence with at least a 90%, 95% or 99% of identity with the SEQ ID No:2 or SEQ ID No: 6. The invention provides also diagnostic methods ex vivo or in vitro for detection of the viral antigen P of RSV, in which are used the monoclonal antibodies produced and secreted by the hybridomas 2E6/D2 and 6H5/H1. The invention can be used in detection for RSV kits, comprising the antibodies produced by the mentioned hybridomas.
