title: Generation and characterization of a monoclonal antibody, mH1, raised against mitotic HeLa cells.
abstract: Hybridoma cell lines were prepared from spleen cells of mouse immunized with mitotic HeLa cells. A monoclonal antibody (mH1), which intensively reacted with cleavage furrows of dividing HeLa cells in immunofluorescence, was obtained. In interphase, this antibody diffusely stained whole HeLa cells. Immunoelectron microscopy showed that mH1 antigens were localized at microvillus projections at the surface of dividing HeLa cells, but definite localization of that antigen was not observed in interphasic cells. Immunoblot analysis showed that mH1 is reactive to 42-kDa and 130-kDa components. Further, the 42-kDa component was identified as a gamma-actin homolog by N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis.
