A cellular protein with a molecular weight of about 53,000 (53K) and histocompatibility antigens (mouse H-2 antigens) have been reported to be associated with viral-specified proteins in transformed cells. We investigated whether such associations could be detected on the surface of SV40-transformed mouse cells. A differential immunoprecipitation technique was adapted so that surface-associated antigens could be detected independently from intracellular antigens. Cells grown as monolayers were enzymatically labeled with125I-Na using a lactoperoxidase-catalyzed reaction, or metabolically labeled with either [35S]methionine or32Pi, and were then incubated with antisera against mouse H-2 antigens or SV40 large T-antigen (T-ag) or with monoclonal antibodies against mouse 53K nonviral T-antigen (nvT-ag). The cells were then disrupted with an NP40 solution, the extracts were clarified by centrifugation, and the immune complexes in the supernatant fluids adsorbed with protein A-containingStaphylococcus aureus. Internal antigens, present in the cell lysates, were precipitated by a second incubation with antiserum and the antigen-antibody complexes collected again with immunoadsorbent. The precipitated proteins were eluted and analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Reconstruction experiments established that T-ag released from the nucleus during the extraction procedure was not combining with free antigen-binding sites on antibodies bound to the cell surface in the external reaction, that nuclear unbound T-ag was not exchanging with bound surface antigen during extraction, and that the surface reaction was not due to nuclear T-ag released from dead cells and nonspecifically adsorbed onto the surface of living cells. Iodinated 94K T-ag was specifically immunoprecipitated by T antibody during the external reaction; an iodinated 53K polypeptide was coprecipitated. Conversely, labeled T-ag and 53K were coprecipitated from surface-iodinated transformed cells by monoclonal antibodies against mouse 53K nvT-ag. Thus, it appears that SV40 large T-ag and cellular 53K protein are associated on the surface as well as within SV40-transformed mouse cells. In contrast, no detergent-stable complex between T-ag and mouse H-2 antigens was detected on the transformed cells. The possibility that molecular interactions between viral- and cell-coded proteins could be involved in determining some of the observed transformation-related cellular phenotypic changes is discussed.
