A murine monoclonal antibody recognising a single glycoprotein within a human cytomegalovirus virion envelope glycoprotein complex. 1985

K M Law, and P Wilton-Smith, and G H Farrar

Nonionic detergent solubilised polypeptides from highly purified human cytomegalovirus virions were used as immunogens to produce murine monoclonal antibody secreting hybridomas. One monoclonal antibody was shown, by immunoprecipitation followed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), to precipitate three glycoproteins with molecular weights 52, 95, and 130 (all X 10(3)) and one minor component with a molecular weight of 50 X 10(3). When virion envelope components were first separated by SDS-PAGE and electrophoretically transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, this monoclonal antibody recognised two related components with molecular weights 50 and 52 (both X 10(3)). Immunofluorescence studies suggested that these viral antigens were associated with membrane systems of virus-infected cells and were particularly abundant late in infection.

D003587 Cytomegalovirus A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
