A monoclonal antibody against human manganese - superoxide dismutase, process for its production, test reagent kit and test method using the same, method for the diagnosis of human ovarian cancer, and of myocardial infarction.

摘要

A monoclonal antibody against human manganese-superoxide dismutase characterized in that it is produced by a cell line which has been obtained by immunization of a mouse with human Mn-SOD and then fusion of lymphocytes obtained from the mouse with mouse myeloma cells, and has high specificity against human Mn-SOD; a method for producing a monoclonal antibody against human Mn-SOD having high specificity against human Mn-SOD, which comprises culturing the cell line obtained by immunization of a mouse with human Mn-SOD and then cell fusion of lymphocytes obtained from the mouse with mouse myeloma cells; a kit for assaying human Mn-SOD, comprising:PP(a) a monoclonal antibody having very high specific immuno-reactivity against human Mn-SOD; andPP(b) a reagent of a monoclonal antibody having very high specific immuno-reactivity against human Mn-SOD labelled with an enzyme (enzyme labelled antibody); a method for assaying human Mn-SOD use of the kit; a novel diagnostic method of human epithelial ovarian cancer, which comprises assaying the concentration of human Mn-SOD in a body fluid by use of the assay kit; and a novel diagnostic method of myocardial infarction, which comprises assaying the concentration of human Mn-SOD in a body fluid by use of the assay kit.
