MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES SPECIFIC FOR THE PB2 ANTIGEN OF THE HUMAN INFLUENZA VIRUS (FLU), NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES, METHOD AND DIAGNOSTIC KIT FOR FLU INFECTION

摘要

The invention discloses the generation of monoclonal antibodies, or fragments thereof, that recognize the PB2 protein of the human influenza virus (Flu), where said monoclonal antibodies or fragments thereof, comprise a heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region. Furthermore, a diagnostic method is provided to detect Flu infections in biological samples of nasopharyngeal secretions, using monoclonal antibodies in diagnostic kit format.
