Abstract
Monoclonal antibody sera can be produced by hybridoma technique. After immunization of a mouse, pig, rat, rabbit or other appropriate species with Mystery Swine Disease (MSD) containing cell culture lysate, the spleen of the animal can be removed and converted into a whole cell preparation. Preferably the monoclonal antibody is produced by a murine derived hybrid cell line wherein the antibody is an IgG or IgM type immunoglobulin. Example monoclonal antibodies to the infectious agent for SIRS are monoclonal antibody SDOW 12 and SDOW 17.
