Mouse hybridoma cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies to the JHM strain of mouse hepatitis virus-4 (MHV-4) were established. By indirect immunofluorescence and immune precipitation, monoclonal antibodies of 3 viral polypeptide specificities were characterized. Monoclonal antibodies to nucleocapsid reacted in the cytoplasm of infected mouse L-241 cells and precipitated the 60,000 dalton (60K) nucleocapsid polypeptide (VP-4) of MHV-4. Other monoclonal antibodies reacted both in the cytoplasm and on the surface of infected cells and precipitated the 170K viral glycoprotein (GP-1). A 3rd set of monoclonal antibodies reacted both in the cytoplasm and on the surface of infected cells and precipitated the 25K viral glycoprotein (GP-5) and its precursor VP-6 (23K). Anti-GP-1 alone had direct neutralizing activity for MHV-4 virus, while in the presence of complement both anti-GP-1 and anti-GP-5 neutralized virus. Only anti-GP-1 had the ability to inhibit the spread of infection due to fusion in L241 cells. Thus, the viral glycoprotein GP-1 likely contains both the attachment and fusion activities of MHV-4.
