Abstrakt: Monoclonal antibodies to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were prepared by fusing spleen cells from BAI.B/c mice immunized with Salmonella Minnesota Rc 595 LPS to the mouse myeloma cell line P3U1. One of them designated RS01 revealed a strong positive antinuclear activity and reacted with DNA-histone. RS01 also bound specifically lo Salmonella Minnesota Re 595 LPS and eliminated the histological activity of LPS. The Salmonella completely inhibited the ANA activity of RSOI and DNA-histone blocked the reactivity of RS01 with LPS. Thus, it is clear that an anti-LPS monoclonal antibody. RS01 cross-reacts with DNA-histone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
