ABSTRACT:
A method for producing monoclonal antibody reagents against novel proteins induced by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). The method consists of preparing HSV-1 antigen populations by infecting mammalian cells either with HSV-1 alone or with HSV-1 in the presence of an inhibitor of protein synthesis, allowing virus replication to proceed by reversing the action of said inhibitor, inoculating said antigen mixture in mice to induce the production of antibodies, fusing the spleen cells of said mice with myeloma cells to obtain hybrid cells, and screening said cells by radioimmunoprecipitation-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (RIP-PAGE) to identify hybrid cells producing monoclonal antibodies against HSV-1 proteins. The method teaches the production of unique monoclonal antibody reagents directed against novel HSV-1 proteins; including a 132,000 molecular weight (mw) DNA-binding protein, a 175,000 mw immediate-early protein, and a previously unknown 110,000 mw glycoprotein.
