RESUMO
Hybridoma-derived monoclonal antibodies were produced with fimbrial preparations from Escherichia coli 20025 (04:K12:H-) with fimbrial (F) antigens 1C, 13, one related to 12, and one preliminarily termed y and from E. coli 2980 (018ac:K5:H-) with F antigens 1C and 8. Two clones of subclonal hybrid cells were studied which produced monoclonal antibodies (mc-20025-F2b, immunoglobulin G2b [IgG2b]; mc-2980-F2, IgG1) that were reactive with E. coli 20025, 2980, and a number of additional strains which exhibited the F1C antigen. Results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot analysis indicated that the antibodies had F1C specificity, and competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with 125I-labeled antibodies showed that they recognized different epitopes on the fimbrial subunit. Neither of the antibodies agglutinated F1C-fimbriated E. coli but bound to the bacteria. There was no binding to E. coli without F1C fimbriae.
