L. interrogans serovar Canicola was cultivated, concentrated and prepared for fusion. BALB/c mice of 6 weeks old were inoculated with different antigenic preparations of L. interrogans serovar Canicola with complete freund{u2019}s adjuvant. Booster doses with and without incomplete freund{u2019}s adjuvant were applied. To obtain hybridomas, mice spleen cells were fused with myeloma cells in the presence of polyethylene glycol. Hybridoma cells that secret specific antibodies were selected on the basis of ELISA. These positive hybridomas were cloned by limiting dilution method to reveal subclones of one cell origin. 5 specific clones were obtained UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
