ABSTRACT:
Monoclonal antibodies capable of binding to a Meningitis Related Homologous Antigenic Sequence (MRHAS) are provided. The MRHAS is found in meningitis-causing organisms and chemokines involved in cell chemotaxis. The monoclonal antibodies are useful for detection and diagnosis of meningitis.
