title: Isolation of monoclonal antibodies directed against the V protein of human parainfluenza virus type 2 and localization of the V protein in virus-infected cells.
abstract: Two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specific for the human parainfluenza virus type 2 (hPIV-2) V protein were obtained by immunizing mice with the V protein recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli. Both mAbs were found to react with the V protein in ELISA and in Western blot analysis. Using these mAbs and previously obtained mAbs specific for hPIV-2 nucleoprotein (NP) or hPIV-2 phospho-(P) protein, we examined the intracellular distributions of the V, P and NP proteins in hPIV-2-infected cells by indirect immunofluorescence analyses. The P and NP proteins were organized in numerous granules in the cytoplasm of hPIV-2 infected cells. In contrast, the V protein showed diffuse nuclear and cytoplasm distributions.
