Functional cDNA library for efficient expression of measles virus-specific gene products in primate cells

Journal of Virology
T C Wong, A Hirano

Abstract

A cDNA library designed for high-level expression of measles virus-specific gene products in mammalian cells was generated. From this library, functional clones which contained the entire protein-coding sequences of the nucleocapsid (N) and the phosphoprotein (P) genes were isolated. By DNA-mediated gene transfer into a line of simian virus 40-transformed monkey kidney cells, the N-specific cDNA was expressed into a single polypeptide of about 60,000 Mr, which was immunoprecipitated by monoclonal antibodies against the measles virus N protein. In contrast, the P-specific cDNA could be expressed into either one or two species of polypeptides of 75,000 or 70,000 Mr, both of which were immunoprecipitated by monoclonal antibodies against the measles virus P protein.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
