Popis: T antigen, purified from KB cells infected with type 12 adenovirus, was characterized by chemical and physical methods. The immunologically active molecule had an ultraviolet-absorption spectrum characteristic of a protein, and was partially inactivated (i.e., approximately 85%) by trypsin (final concentration of 150 μg/ml). Centrifugation analyses indicated that the purified antigen was a single molecular species with an average sedimentation coefficient of 2.40 S (measured by zonal centrifugation in sucrose gradients) and an S 20,w of 2.58 determined by analytical centrifugation. The antigen was inactivated at temperatures above 40 C, it was stable between p H 5.7 and 8.8, and it had an isoelectric point of approximately 5.0, as determined by electrophoresis on cellulose polyacetate membranes.
