Abstract
A hybridoma cell line produces an antibody with reactivity directed specifically to immunodominant antigens from the catfish pathogen Edwardsiella ictaluri, the antigens having molecular weights of about 14,000, 39,000, 48,000, 60,000, 66,000, 83,000, and 93,000 daltons. This antibody is specific for proteins of E. ictaluri but not for other catfish pathogens. It is therefore useful for the positive identification of E. ictaluri from body fluids and tissue of catfish and for identification and purification of the reactive immunodominant antigens.
