Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel hybridoma cell line which secretes monoclonal antibodies capable of binding to the AT1 subtype of the Angiotensin II receptor. It also relates to monoclonal antibodies secreted by the hybridoma, which antibodies may be used in diagnostic test kits as well as having therapeutic applications.
Claims4
A diagnostic test kit comprising a monoclonal antibody attached to a detectable label, wherein said monoclonal antibody is capable of binding to the mammalian AT1 subtype of the angiotensin II receptor and binds specifically to a peptide having the amino acid sequence (SEQ ID. No. 1) Glu-Asp-Gly-lle-Lys-Arg-lle-Gln-Asp-Asp.
A diagnostic test kit comprising a labeled monoclonal antibody, wherein said monoclonal antibody binds to the AT1 subtype of the angiotensin II receptor, the antibody being produced by a hybridoma cell line deposited at European Collection of Animal Cell Cultures, Porton Down, UK under Accession No. 930720117.
