HYBRID CELL LINE FOR PRODUCING MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY TO A HUMAN PROTHYMOCYTE ANTIGEN,ANTIBODY,METHOD OF PREPARATION OF THIS ANTIBODY,DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC USES,AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING THIS ANTIBODY

摘要

Hybrid cell line for production of monoclonal antibody to an antigen found on approximately 95% of normal human thymocytes. The hybrid is formed by fusing splenocytes from immunized CAF1 mice with P3X63Ag8U1 myeloma cells. Diagnostic and therapeutic uses of the monoclonal antibody are also disclosed.
