摘要
We synthesized three peptides, MAI - Thr19-Val28(+ Tyr) -, MA2 - Ser807-Ala816-, and MA3 - Ser718-Glu729(+Tyr) from the sequence of Epstein-Barr virus gp350/220 and immunized rabbits with these peptides. Rabbit antisera to the peptides had antipeptide radioimmunoassay titers of 1:400 foranti-MA1, 1:200 foranti-MA2, and 1:1600 foranti-MA3. The anti-MAI serum recognized gp350/220 in Western blotting to SDS-electrophoresed proteins from l2-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-l3-acetate- and n-butyrate-treated B95-8 cells, but anti-MA2 and MA3 sera did not. None of the sera reacted with gp350/220 by membrane or cytoplasmic immunonuorescence or by immunoprecipitation of Triton X-100 solubilized proteins. © 1990 S. Karger AG, Basel.
