  • Title: Monoclonal antibodies against the common polysaccharide of Streptococcus agalactiae.
    Author: Rosocha J, Mikula I, Kollárová Z, Holoda E.
    Journal: Folia Microbiol (Praha); 1996; 41(5):436-40. PubMed ID: 9131799.
    Abstract:
    A monoclonal antibody giving a dominant reaction with the group-specific polysaccharide of streptococcus group B in an ELISA test has been developed. The purified polysaccharide exhibited a high positivity with reference anti B streptococcal antiserum in the ELISA test. Cross-tests of antibodies with other groups of streptococci provided a minimum cross-reaction only in the case of G streptococci. Monoclonal antibodies were prepared using Streptococcus agalactiae S 589 MT strain isolated from a case of bovine mastitis which does not express Ia, Ib, II, III, IV and V type antigens, nor C, R and X protein antigens.
