Abstract:
PURPOSE: A monoclonal antibody produced from a hydridoma clone is provided to quickly and accurately diagnose, prevent and treat vibrio vulnificus sepsis. CONSTITUTION: A monoclonal antibody binds to vibrio vulnificus RtxA1 antigen prepared by hybridoma cells(deposit number KCLRF-BP-00261) and thermal-treated vibrio vulnificus RtxA1 antigen. The monoclonal antibody binds to 3981-4380th amino acid sites of vibrio vulnificus RtxA1. A composition for detecting vibrio vulnificus contains the monoclonal antibody. A diagnosing kit for detecting vibrio vulnificus contains the monoclonal antibody. A therapeutic agent for treating vibrio vulnificus contains the antibody.
