  • Title: Strain-specific determinants on the major phosphoprotein of murine mammary tumor viruses.
    Author: Racevskis J, Sarkar NH.
    Journal: Virology; 1983 Feb; 125(1):230-5. PubMed ID: 6187126.
    Abstract:
    The major phosphoprotein (p23) of murine mammary tumor virus (MuMTV) was purified for C3H virus, using a combination of alkyl agarose chromatography and gel filtration. Monospecific antiserum was raised against glutaraldehyde crosslinked polymers of purified p23, and the antiserum was then used with iodinated p23 to develop a competition radioimmunoassay. Phosphoprotein p23 was shown to contain both group- and type-specific antigenic determinants in assays using detergent-disrupted virions of MuMTV strains C3H, RIII, GR, and DBA/2 as competing antigens. Tryptic and chymotryptic peptide mapping analysis of p23 polypeptides isolated from MuMTV strains C3H, RIII, GR and DBA/2 showed that the p23s of each virus strain could be clearly distinguished from each other.
