Abstract
A murine anti-A monoclonal antibody was obtained by the hybridoma technique. This antibody, of an IgM nature, is capable of agglutinating A1, A2 and A3 red blood cells. Thermodynamic study confirmed its monoclonal character; its association constant is 1,6 10(6) l/mole. The enthalpy change of the antigen/antibody reaction is nul which indicates the absence of the role of temperature on antibody fixation. This weak affinity makes it necessary to concentrate the supernatant so as to enable use of these reagents under the same conditions as those used at present.
