Abstract
A monoclonal antibody by which medullasin that is a kind of serine proteases existing in granulocytes, production process thereof and an immunoassay of human medullasin using the antibody are disclosed. The monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes human medullasin. The process for producing the anti-human medullasin antibody comprises culturing hybridomas prepared by cell fusion between antibody-producing cells recovered from an animal immunized with human medullasin and myeloma cells, and recovering anti-human medullasin monoclonal antibody which specifically recognizes human medullasin from the culture in which the hybridomas are cultured. The immunoassay utilizes the anti-human medullasin antibody.
