The authors prepared 156 mouse hybridomas producing monoclonal (MCA) antibodies to type- and group-specific antigenic determinants of HSV-1 and HSV-2. Seven of them were studied at length by western blot and radioimmunoprecipitation methods. The cell lines 1H97 and 2H141 were shown to produce immunoglobulins of G2 beta and M class, respectively, and were directed against group-specific antigenic determinants of the major nucleocapsid protein p150. The cell lines 1H38 and 1H110 produced immunoglobulins of M and G2 beta, respectively, and were directed against type-specific antigens of HSV-1 glycoprotein gB. At the same time, the presence of group-specific antigenic determinants on glycoprotein gB molecule was indicated by MCA 1H188 belonging to immunoglobulins of G2 alpha class. Two cell lines, 2H208 and 1H225, produced immunoglobulins G2 alpha directed against type-specific antigenic determinants of HSV-2 glycoprotein gD and group-specific antigenic determinants of HSV-1 gD, respectively. The results of immunoelectron microscopy indicated that MCA 1H110 and 2H208 were directed against virus envelope proteins. |
