Tumor-associated surface antigens (TASA) on a Moloney leukemia virus (M-MuLV)-induced lymphoma, MBL-2, in C57BL/6 mice (B6) were characterized. The surface proteins of MBL-2 cells were selectively radioiodinated and then extracted by Nonidet P40. The solubilized materials were then reacted with a variety of antisera: monospecific antisera to murine leukemia viral proteins (anti-gp69/71, anti-p30, anti-p15, anti-p12 and anti-p10), sera from B6 which regressed murine sarcoma tumors induced by murine sarcoma virus (anti-MSV) and a rabbit anti-MBL-2 antiserum. The resulting radioimmune precipitates were analyzed and compared in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The following results were obtained. (1) Among all anti-viral protein antisera tested only anti-gp69/71 was active and detected a protein doublet of gp69/71 and its degradation fragments of 42,000 and 35,000 daltons. (2) Radioimmune precipitates prepared with anti-MSV showed a SDS-PAGE pattern similar to that seen with anti-gp69/71. This result indicated that the surface antigen detected by the anti-MSV serum on MBL-2 tumor cell was probably a viral envelope antigen. (3) The rabbit anti-MBL-2 serum detected on the cell membrane an antigen of approximately 95,000 daltons which was tumor-associated and did not appear to be related to virion components. The anti-MBL-2-serum still reacted with the 95,000 dalton antigen after absorption with disrupted M-MuLV virus and with gp69/71 and p30 purified from the virus.
