摘要

This invention relates to a monoclonal antibody which has a specific reactivity to the major outer membrane protein and the elementary body that originate from C. pneumoniae but which does not have any reactivity to the major outer membrane protein of C. trachomatis; a monoclonal antibody which has a reactivity to the 53 K dalton antigen protein of C. pneumoniae but which does not have any reactivity to the inclusion body of C. trachomatis nor C. psittaci; methods for preparing these monoclonal antibodies; cell lines producing the same; methods for detecting and determining C. pneumoniae using the same; reagents for detecting and determining C. pneumoniae containing the same; methods for diagnosis of C. pneumoniae infections using the same; and diagnostic reagents for C. pneumoniae infections comprising the same as an active ingredient.
