A panel of eight monoclonal antibodies recognizing individual antigenic determinan (epitopes) on the envelope proteins (gp70 and p15(E)) of murine leukemia virus (MuLV) has been used to probe the serological properties of recombinant dualtropic (MCF) viruses. Since six of these monoclonal antibodies showed specificity for epitopes that were exclusive to endogenous N-ecotropic MuLV, it was reasoned that they might provide a means to determine the relative genetic contribution of ecotropic information in theenvgene of dualtropic isolates. It was anticipated that the loss of ecotropic-specific sequences in these viruses would be reflected by a loss of reactivity with the ecotropic-specific monoclonal antibodies. This expectation proved to be correct, as several of the monoclonal antibodies that reacted with endogenous ecotropic MuLV of AKR mice failed to react with isolates of recombinant dualtropic MuLV from the same strain. In addition, it was noted that the “nonreactivity” of the monoclonal antibodies with different dualtropic viruses occurred in characteristic patterns. A common feature of the patterns was coordinate loss of expression of the gp70a, gp70d, and gp70eepitopes from all AKR dualtropic MuLV. In contrast to the common deletion of ecotropic-specific epitopes, the gp70b, gp70c, and p15(E)aepitopes were variably deleted in different recombinant viruses.
