ABSTRACT
Rat monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against mouse IgE were obtained by fusing spleen cells of a LOU/C rat (immunized with a mouse IgE MAb IgEL-b4) with the 983 fusion cell line. 1 The nomenclature of hybridomas used hereafter is LO-ME for LOUVAIN rat MAb (LO), against mouse (M), IgE isotype (E), and these abbreviations are followed by a number.
