Hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies specific for the adenovirus early region 1A (E1A) proteins were prepared from BALB/c mice immunized with a bacterial trpE-E1A fusion protein. This protein is encoded by a hybrid gene that joins a protion of the Esherichia coli trpE gene and a complementary DNA copy of the E1A 13S mRNA. Hybridomas (83) that secrete antibodies 5,129 are specific for the E1A portion of the fusion protein. Only 12 of the monoclonal antibodies can efficiently immunoprecipitate E1A polypeptides from detergent lysates of infected cells. E1A polypeptides were analyzed on 1-dimensional, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and 2-dimensional isoelectric focusing polyacrylamide gels. The E1A proteins that are specifically immunoprecipitated by the monoclonal antibodies are heterogeneous in size and charge and can be resolved into .apprx. 60 polypeptide species. This heterogeneity is due not only to synthesis from multiple E1A mRNA species, but also at least in part to post-translational modification. Several of the monoclonal antibodies divide the E1A polypeptides into immunological subclases based on the ability of the antibodies to bind to the antigen. Of these monoclonal antibodies, 2 bind to the polypeptides synthesized from the 13S E1A mRNA, but not to other E1A proteins.
