| 1. An assay for detecting the presence of microbial organisms bearing the CS4-CFA/I family proteins comprising
contacting a culture of microbial organisms with a monoclonal antibody produced by the hybridoma with deposit number ATCC
HB-12163,
allowing time for the monoclonal antibody to interact with the microbial organisms, and
detecting the presence of a complex formed between the monoclonal antibody and the microbial organisms bearing the CS4-CFA/I
family proteins.
