AIM: To prepare hybridoma cell lines were obtained by fusing Sp2/0 with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with killed enterohemorrhagic E.coli O157:H7 EspA (EHEC O157:H7 EspA). METHODS: The subclass isotype and the specificity of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) were determined and identified by ELISA, Western blot and immune fluorescence staining. RESULTS: Isotype of 3 mAb was IgG1kappa, IgG1lambda, and IgG2kappa, respectively, and the affinity constant were 3.0x10(9), 2.8x10(9), 1.9x10(9). As demonstrated by Western blot, these 3 mAb specifically reacted with EspA protein and EHEC O157:H7. Useing immune fluorescence staining, EHEC O157:H7 could adhere to the membrace of Hela cell. CONCLUSION: Three hybridoma cell lines can stably secrete anti-EspA mAb with high-titer and high-specific have been established. It can be used to deeply study EHEC O157:H7 pathopoiesis mechanism.
