The development of monoclonal antibodies with a specificity for cross-linked fibrin may have a potential role in the detection and of thrombi and thrombolytic therapy. In this study, two monoclonal antibodies with a specificity for fibrin have been examined. In vitro studies have shown NIBn 123 (which has a high affinity for X-oligomer) and DD-3B6 to bind to immobilised fibrin on PVC plates as well as plasma clots which were incubated in the presence of plasma. The Km values for NIBn 123 and DD-3B6 wre 1.0 x 10(10)/7.7 x 10(8) M and 2.6 x 10(8) M respectively. No significant binding to fibrinogen either immobilised or in solution was found. The binding of these antibodies to a human thrombus in the jugular vein of the rabbit was monitored over a 24 hour period. Preferential binding of each antibody reached a ratio of approximately 1.0 (jugular/heart) at 24 hours and an image was detected.
