Abstract

A process to produce hybrid cell lines, which produce monoclonal antibodies to Legionella pneumophila. Cell lines are produced by fusion of immunized mouse splenocytes to these bacteria with non secreting myeloma cells. Monoclonal antibodies are useful for diagnosis of diseases due to Legionella pneumophilia, for detection of these bacteria in environment, for the production of vaccines.
