The development and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against rat cytomegalovirus induced antigens
Abstract
In this paper the development of a battery of approximately 70 mouse monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) to RCMV-induced antigens and their characterization is discussed. Their reactivity with the whole scala of ca. 30 virus specific proteins was tested in an enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA) whereas their ability to detect RCMV-antigens at different locations of in vitro infected cell cultures and at different stages of infection was tested by immunofluorescence. In order to determine to what specific (viral) protein each of these McAbs is directed against we used an immunoprecipitation technique, followed by SDS-PAGE. Furthermore, neutralizing capacity of each McAb was tested, as well as the immunoglobulin class they belong to. In this manner we defined six categories of monoclonal antibodies on the basis of immunofluorescence aspect. The six categories identify most important viral structural proteins.
