RESUMO
Monoclonal antibodies were prepared against enteric adenovirus by fusing P3-NS1/-Ag4-1 mouse myeloma cells with lymphocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with enteric adenovirus 40 (Ad40) G2297. Of the several putative clones secreting antibodies to adenovirus, five were found to react specifically to the enteric adenovirus. The specificity of two of these monoclones which recognize a single antigen of a molecular size of 17 kilodaltons was evaluated against 78 clinical isolates. One monoclone (5D8/2C2) reacted with both Ad40 and Ad41, and the other monoclone (2H6/C11) recognized Ad40 only in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). These ELISA results correlated well with those of the specific neutralization test or DNA restriction endonuclease analysis or both. The use of this rapid ELISA with these monoclones will find applications in the diagnosis of enteric adenovirus and should facilitate the epidemiologic studies of enteric adenovirus gastroenteritis.
