Polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against dihydrogriesenin, atrazine and Haemophilus paragallinarum, and their use in enzyme linked immunosorbent assays

Abstract

Monoclonal antibodies represent the ultimate in specificity of serological analysis and diagnosis. Combined with the sensitivity and versatility of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), it provides a powerful tool to distinguish between closely related analytes where this is not easily accomplished by conventional means. The purpose of this study was to extend the application of ELISA and monoclonal antibodies, or account for imperfections in a selected number of situations of interest to the field of agriculture.
