Abstract
A monoclonal antibody (aRB1C1) raised against an Rb fusion protein detects a limited number (4-10) of relatively large intranuclear foci in an EBV-immortalized cord blood cell line (IB4). These domains also bind an anti-EBNA-5 monoclonal antibody. The Rb antibody reactive sites also co-localize with the SV40 T antigen in transformed monkey cells (COS). The nuclear structures stained by aRB1C1 and EBNA-5 antibodies are distinct from the structures detected with antibodies against centromeric proteins and certain snRNP epitopes. EBNA-5/Rb-positive domains do not selectively react with antibodies against the La antigen known to associate with the small EBV-encoded nuclear RNA species designated as the EBERs.
