Abstract
Murine monoclonal antibodies specific to unique antigenic determinants on mammalian terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferases (TdT). The monoclonal antibodies specifically bind to TdT in a wide variety of mammalian cells including human, mouse, rat, rabbit and bovine origin. The monoclonal antibodies are secreted by hybridoma cells derived from fusion of murine plasmacytoma cells with splenocytes from mice immunized with TdT from bovine thymus cells. The monoclonal antibodies can detect small numbers of TdT-positive cells for monitoring of TdT-positive leukemias and lymphomas in multiple species, including human.
