Abstract:
An antibody binding specifically to rat postacrosome reaction sperm is produced and hybridomas (FARS-91 and FARS-92 strains) capable of stably proliferating are obtained by fusing mouse spleen cells having a high antibody titer against rat postacrosome reaction sperm with mouse-origin myeloma cells and screening fused cells reacting strongly with rat postacrosome reaction sperm. From these hybridomas, monoclonal antibodies selectively binding to rat postacrosome reaction sperm can be obtained. Thus, a diagnostic method for evaluating rat fertility is presented.
