RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To prepare a monoclonal antibody against hepatoma-specific gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT-II) and study it's application.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Two Bal B/C mice were immunized with pure GGT-II, then their spleen cells were separated and fused to SP 2/0 myeloma cells so as to make hybridoma cell strain which could yield monoclonal antibody against GGT-II. And it's effect of binding GGT-II was detected by competitive inhibitory enzyme linked-immunosorbance assay (ELISA).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A mouse hybridoma cell strain which could steadily secrete the monoclonal antibody against GGT-II was obtained and named 2G4F6B2. This monoclonal antibody belonged to IgG1 subclass and was specific to GGT-II, without cross-reaction to GGT-II. The result of detecting human serum GGT-II by ELISA with the monoclonal antibody accorded with that by polyacrylamide gradient electrophoresis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The monoclonal antibody against GGT-II prepared in this study has high specificity and can be applied in clinic to detect human serum GGT-II.</p>
