Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:To obtain the subject new treating and preventing agent capable of curing hypercalcemia in highly desirable result over a relatively long period by using an anti-human parathyroid hormone-relating protein monoclonal antibody or/its relating substance as active component. CONSTITUTION:A hybridoma is prepared by mixing a human parathyroid hormone-relating protein (PTHrP) with Freund's complete adjuvant, immunizing a BALB mouse with the mixture by subcutaneous injection, collecting immunized splenocytes after booster immunization, fusing the cell with a mouse myeloma cell in the presence of polyethylene glycol and culturing the fused cell on HAT medium. The hybridoma is screened to select a clone capable of producing anti-PTHrP antibody, which is cloned by limiting dilution analysis, etc., to obtain a monoclonized hybridoma. The hybridoma is cultured to obtain an anti-PTHrP monoclonal antibody. The objective agent for the treatment or prevention of hypercalcemia can be prepared by using the antibody or its relating substance such as F(ab') fragment as active component.
