Identification of a novel EBV-induced membrane glycoprotein of 43 kDa with H667 MAb.

Using purified B95-8 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a MAb designated H667 was produced. We demonstrated by indirect membrane immunofluorescence (IF) on six EBV producer cell lines and by immunoelectron microscopy that H667 reacted with a membrane antigen. H667 recognized a 43-kDa EBV protein (p43) as determined by immunoblotting using purified EBV from the six producer cell lines.

Characterization of a 75-kDa Epstein-Barr virus capsid protein using a new monoclonal antibody H250.

A monoclonal antibody (mAb) designated H250, directed against an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) capsid antigen, was obtained following immunization of BALB/c mice with naked particles from the producer cell line B95.8. This antigen was present in the producer lines B95.
