Abstract

Splenocytes derived from mice inoculated with a commercial cellulase preparation or purified cellulases were fused with a stable myeloma cell line (SP2/0). Specific monoclonal antibodies to cellobiohydrolases I and II and endoglucanases I and II were established. In addition to specific monoclonal antibodies, we were also able to establish stable hybridoma cell lines which produced monoclonal antibodies that recognized similar epitopes possessed by two or more of the above cellulases. By obtaining monospecific antibodies for all four individual cellulases, the role and function of the individual cellulases can thus be studied in greater detail.
