Resumo: The aim of this study was to obtain a reactive monoclonal antibody against Candida albicans. Spleen celIs of BALB/c mice previously immunized withCandida were fused in vitro with mielorna cells Sp2-0Ag14. The resultant hybridcells were kept in culture medium at 5% C02.The suspension growing cells were tested by ELISA to check the antibodies titer. The positive colonies were cloned to achieve the monoclonal antibody and further expanded in mice peritoneum. The antibody produced was purified and isotope. The monoclonal antibody was denominated 76C. The 76C was directed against mannoprotein molecules from Candida cell surface, which has not yet been completely investigated to find outlhe specific nature of epitope. The antibody 76C was analyzed by DOT BLOTagainst different Candida species and there were positives results in 87,5% of the tested samples_ The monoclonal antibody 76C will be a useful tool to investigate oligomannoside epitope from mannan and could be applied in sera diagnosis in invasive candidiasis and in studies of glicidic epitope.
