RESUMO
Six independent rat hybridoma cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies to human subgroup C adenovirus early region 1A (E1A) proteins were isolated. Competition binding experiments revealed that each of the monoclonal antibodies was directed against the same epitope or overlapping cluster of epitopes on the E1A proteins. Viral E1A deletion mutants and deleted forms of E1A proteins expressed in Escherichia coli were used to localize the antibody recognition sites to sequences between amino acids 23 and 120, encoded within the first exon of the E1A gene. Similarly, polyclonal antisera raised against the trpE-E1A fusion protein, as well as against the native, biologically active E1A protein, were also directed primarily against this immunodominant region.
