ABSTRACT
Hybridoma cells produced by fusing myeloma cells with spleen cells from mice immunized with a soluble antigen of Microsporum canis yielded 30 antibody-producing clones. Six of these clones, propagated as ascites tumors in mice, showed two different types of monoclonal antibodies. The type 1 monoclonal antibody reacted with 17 heterologous and 10 homologous dermatophyte antigens. Type 2 monoclonal antibodies were unable to precipitate three antigens from different isolates of M. canis, thus suggesting the occurrence of different serotypes within the species.
