Identification of an Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen by fluoroimmunoelectrophoresis and radioimmunoelectrophoresis

Identification of an Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen by fluoroimmunoelectrophoresis and radioimmunoelectrophoresis

Abstract

A 65,000-dalton (65K) antigen found in Raji cells by fluoroimmunoelectrophoresis and radioimmunoelectrophoresis has been identified as an Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen (EBNA). This identification is based on the following evidence. The 65K antigen is detected in Raji cells but not in three Epstein-Barr virus (-) human B cell lines. It is not detected with EBNA (-) sera. The 65K antigen is found predominantly in the nucleus and co-elutes with EBNA during partial purification by DNA-Sepharose and Blue Dextran-Sepharose chromatography. Finally, the partially purified 65K antigen is an effective absorbant of EBNA antibody as measured in an anticomplement immunofluorescence assay. Antigens with molecular weights of 72, 70, and 73K have been detected in B95-8, P3HR-1, and Namalwa cells, respectively. These antigens are the likely homologues of the 65K Raji EBNA. In addition, an Epstein-Barr virus-associated, 81K DNA-binding antigen has been detected in both B95-8 and Raji cells.
