title: Inhibition of RNA nucleo-cytoplasmic translocation by anti-nucleus antibody.
abstract: Anti-nucleus antibody was raised by immunizing rabbits with rat liver nuclei, and purified by affinity-column chromatography. When purified anti-nucleus IgG molecules were introduced into FL cells by the erythrocyte-ghost fusion method with HVJ (Sendai virus), release of RNA from the nucleus into the cytoplasm was inhibited in the presence of alpha-amanitin, but nuclear accumulation of 125I-labeled non-histone chromosomal protein from the cytoplasm was not inhibited. These findings suggest that the nucleo-cytoplasmic transport mechanisms of RNA and nuclear proteins are different. The molecular weight of the antigen of this antibody was determined to be about 55K by the immunoblotting technique.
