Abstract

The invention is directed to hydridoma cell lines and the monoclonal antibodies produced by the cell lines, where the monoclonal antibodies specifically bind to the lipopolysaccharide endotoxin binding receptor of mammalian cells. Specifically, the monoclonal antibodies binds to a cell receptor which has a molecular mass of 80 kilodaltons, and is specific for the lipid A component of the lipopolysaccharide endotoxin. The monoclonal antibodies are specific for a carbohydrate component of the binding receptor in one instance, and for a protein/peptide receptor in another.
