Hybridomas that secrete monoclonal antibody to Toxoplasma gondii have been developed. Two groups of 10 female BALB/c mice each were immunized either over a shorter (71 d) or longer (117 d) period at first with Toxoplasma lysate antigen and afterwards with intact tachyzoites of the RH strain. Higher titres of antibody were obtained with the long-period immunization. The fusion experiments have shown that both schemes of immunization approximately result in the same number (16 and 14% respectively) of hybridoma cell lines producing antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies. Hybridoma cultures secreting antitoxoplasma monoclonal antibodies were screened parallel by indirect immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT) and enzyme immunoassay (EIA). 16 of the hybridoma cell cultures produced positive results only in the IFAT, 112 reacted only in the EIA and 21 were positive in both tests. The monoclonal antibodies 5B10, 5G6 and 1B2, which are positive in the IFAT form a chemical compound with the major antigens on the surface of RH tachyzoites. The patterns of fluorescence produced by these monoclonal antibodies are in conformity with those produced by using polyclonal sera of Toxoplasma gondii infected hosts (mouse, rabbit, man).
