Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were prepared against toxin-coregulated pili (TCP) isolated from Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor. Despite their limited bactericidal potential, two MAbs were able to mediate biotype-specific protection against experimental cholera in infant mice. These MAbs were used in immunoblotting studies to assess seroconversion to El Tor TCP following cholera. Clear anti-pilus responses were observed in five of nine patients.
制备了针对从霍乱弧菌O1 El Tor分离的毒素共调节菌毛(TCP)的单克隆抗体(MAb)。尽管它们的杀菌潜力有限,但两种单克隆抗体能够介导对幼鼠实验性霍乱的生物型特异性保护。这些单克隆抗体用于免疫印迹研究,以评估霍乱后对El Tor TCP的血清转化。在9名患者中的5名中观察到明显的抗菌毛反应。
