Isolation of monoclonal antibodies specific for products of avian oncogene myb

Mol Cell Biol. 1984 Dec;4(12):2843-50. doi: 10.1128/mcb.4.12.2843-2850.1984.

Abstract

We isolated a series of monoclonal antibodies which were raised against a bacterially expressed protein, bp37v-myb, and coded for by part of the avian v-myb gene. These monoclonal antibodies recognized a range of antigenic specificities on bp37v-myb, and this was reflected in their differing specificities for the gene products of the v-myb, c-myb, and E26 viral oncogenes. One monoclonal antibody recognized, in addition to the v-myb and c-myb gene products, a conserved nuclear protein found in all tested cells. We describe the characterization of these monoclonal antibodies.
