Potent immunoregulatory effects of Salmonella typhi flagella on antigenic stimulation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

abstract：:A monoclonal immunoglobulin M antibody, HP15/36, was produced by a hybridoma cell line prepared by fusion of mouse myeloma cell line Sp2/O with spleen cells of mice immunized with Helicobacter pylori D273 (French strain). Immunoelectron microscopy of whole bacteria and ultrathin sections showed that the determinant wa...
