ABSTRACT:
A hybridoma cell line is described which produces and secretes a monoclonal antibody which specifically binds to vitellin in the eggs of the corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea, but does not bind to vitellin in the eggs of the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens. Eggs of H. zea may be detected and differentiated from eggs of H. virescens by subjecting a sample of insect eggs to an immunosorbent assay using the above-mentioned monoclonal antibody. The monoclonal antibodies may also be incorporated into kits for the detection of eggs of H. zea in the field.
