ABSTRACT
Objective To prepare a monoclonal antibody(McAb) against Trichinella spiralis (T.s) adult and study its protective immunity. Methods BALB/c mice were immunized with soluble antigens of 3 day adult of T.s. Immnuized spleen cells of BALB/c mice were fused with myeloma cells sp2/0. The hybridoma culture supernatant was isotyped by the Ouchterlony double diffusion technique and the specificity of the McAb was determined by immunoblotting. The protective immunity of the McAb was detected after challenging the mice by the intravenous way. Results A McAb against T.s adult was obtained. The titer of culture fluid and ascetic fluid was 1∶6 400 and 1∶204 800, respectively. This McAb was identified as IgM. Western blotting results showed this McAb can be used to identify 40 000 protein of adult worm, muscle larvae and newborn larvae of T.s. No cross reactions with antigens of Ascaris suum Goeze, Taenia solium Linnaeus, Echinococcus granulosus and Schistosoma were oberserved. The number of muscle larvae was decreased by 55.63% when giving McAb to mice intravenously. Conclusions A species specific McAb against T.s adult was established and its protective immunity was identified. This McAb can be used as a powerful tool in screening Trichinella vaccine candidates.
