Monoclonal antibodies against human Pneumocystis carinii were produced by fusion of myeloma cells (X63-AG8.653) with splenocytes from Biozzi mice that had been immunized against P. carinii cysts isolated from infected human lung. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of these monoclonal antibodies for the diagnosis of P. carinii pneumonia by indirect immunofluorescence in comparison with a modified silver stain method and commercial kits.
