Employing a procedure by using mice neonatally injected with nontarget antigens present in immunogen preparation before immunization, mouse hybridomas that secreted antibodies to a mycoplasmalike organism (MLO) isolated from tomato plants with symptoms of big bud disease were produced. Neonatal mice were injected with extracts from normal host plant tissue on days 1 and 7. When mice were 8 wk old, they were immunized with a crude antigen preparation consisting of about 10% MLO as determined by dot-blot immunoassays. Based on indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay 20 hybridomas that secreted specific antibodies to the plant pathogenic MLO were selected. Two hybridoma lines were used for development of a dot-blot immunoassay technique on nitrocellulose membranes for detection of the MLO. Grinding liquid nitrogen-frozen MLO-infected midrib tissues with a pestle in a mortar was an efficient method for preparation of antigen extracts for dot-blot immunoassays.
