Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Francisella tularensis were obtained. Three MAbs specifically reacted with F. tularensis, while four MAbs reacted with other members of the genus Francisella as well. Fluorescent isothiocyanate-conjugated MAbs unequivocally stained bacterial cells in specimens from experimentally infected mice. Two MAbs agglutinated F. tularensis antigen in the agglutination tests. These MAbs should improve methods for detection and identification of F. tularensis.Entities:
