A procedure for isolation of hybridomes producing monoclonal antibodies (McAB) to tubercle bacilli is described. Specificity of the McABs was studied with the solid phase radioimmune and immunoenzyme tests. Supernatant of tubercle bacilli destroyed with ultrasound was used as antigens. The McABs did not practically react with antigens of the tubercle bacilli atypical forms. Five ascitic monoclonal hybridomes were isolated. Four of them produced antibodies with selective specificity to antigens of bovine tubercle bacilli (M. bovis-8 and BCG) and one produced antibodies to antigens of human tubercle bacilli (H37Rv).
