Abstract: |
The present invention provides novel hybridoma cell lines which produce monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) that bind epitopes found on lipopolysaccharide most commonly associated with the endotoxin core of gram negative bacteria and exhibit broad cross-reactivity with gram negative bacteria of different genera and effectively neutralize endotoxin. At least one of the MoAbs disclosed (XMMEN-J5D) binds an epitope also found on gram positive bacteria. The hybridomas are produced by fusing an immortal cell, a cell having the ability to replicate indefinitely in myeloma cell culture, and an effector immune cell following immunization of the immune cell host with a preparation of a gram negative bacteria. While several individual hybridoma cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies to lipopolysaccharide are described, the present invention adds to the state of the art an entire family of hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies to lipopolysaccharide-associated epitopes. The monoclonal antibodies produced by the hybridoma cell lines of the present invention are useful in the detection of bacterial infections, therapy and prophylaxis of bacterial endotoxemia and infection caused by gram negative bacteria.

Claim |
What is claimed is:
1. A method for therapeutically treating a human having a gram negative bacterial infection, comprising administering to the human a therapeutically effective amount of a monoclonal antibody produced by the hybridoma cell line ATCC Accession No. HB9081 (the "HB9081 antibody") or a monoclonal antibody of the IgM isotype which binds to an epitope recognized by the HB9081 antibody and further wherein the monoclonal antibody is administered in conjunction with antibiotic therapy for gram negative bacterial infections.
