Animals were immunized with a synthetic polypeptide with the sequence LSPEEEEKRRIRRERNKMAAAKC corresponding to peptides 132-154 of the c-fos oncogene.
Spleen cells were fused with Sp2/0 myeloma cells.
The antibody reacts with the synthetic c-fos oncogene peptide. In ELISA testing, it cross-reacts weakly with the r-fos peptide.
In immunoblot testing a protein of approximately 70 kd is detected in duck cells infected with v-fos. A protein of approximately 35 kd is also detected in this cell line as well as several additional cell lines, such as ANN-1, MSTF, A431, and SSV3T3.
The IgG1 reactivity of the antibody with the c-fos peptide (132-154) was confirmed by ELISA.
