Monoclonal antibodies specific for simian virus 40 tumor antigens

J Virol. 1981 Sep;39(3):861-9. doi: 10.1128/JVI.39.3.861-869.1981.

Abstract

Thirty hybridomas that secrete immunoglobulins against the simian virus 40 tumor antigens were isolated and cloned. Of these, 28 produced antibodies which bound to simian virus 40 large-T, and 2 produced antibodies which bound to the host 53,000-dalton protein. As in previous work, large-T antigen was found to have at least one determinant that it shared with small-t antigen and to have a minimum of six unique determinants. Several of the monoclonal antibodies from the L series hybridomas recognized determinants that were present on a subset of the large-T antigen from simian virus 40-transformed mouse cells. These monoclonal antibodies should be useful in studies of the structure and function of the simian virus 40 tumor antigens.
