Abstract: With purified pseudorabies virus (PRV) to immune BALB/c mice, spleen cells from imunized mice were fused with SP2/0 myeloma cells by application of lymphocyte hybridoma technique, followed by double antibody sandwich ELISA screening, four times cloning by limiting dilution method to obtain two stable secreting anti-PRV monoclonal antibody hybridoma cell lines, 2C6E6 and 3D5F1.After identification, these two monoclonal antibodies belonged to IgG1 and IgG2a subtypes, respectively, the average number of chromosomes of hybridoma cells was 84, ELISA titers of these two hybridoma cell culture supernatants and mouse ascites monoclonal antibodies were 1:512 and 1:1 638 400, 1:1 024 and 1:819 200.These two monoclonal antibodies showed no cross-reaction with classical swine fever virus, porcine reproductive and respiratory syhdrome virus and porcine parvovirus, which indicated that they had high specificity.The hydridoma cells could passage for 30 generations which could still secrete monoclonal antibody against PRV, which indicated that these two monoclonal antibodies had good stability.The results in the assay laid the foundation for establishing rapid diagnostic methods of PRV.
