Abstracl 。Hybridoma ceII line,desig!lated 2D3-E7,producing a monoclonal antibody against 4 8 kDa-early antigen of Epstein-Barr vims was established by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a mouse immunized with P3HR-1
cens treated with sodium ,z-butyrate(lmM)and a tumor promoter,12-a-tetl;adecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA,40 ng/ml).Theantibody was purined from the culture supematant by precipitation with ammonium sulfate and column chromatographies on Sephadex G-2 00, Protein G-Sepharose, and Mono Q. lmmunoblotting analysis showed that the purified antibody corliugated with horseradish peroxidase reacted with TPA (80 ng/inl)-induced p(jlypeptide of 48 kDa in Rii cells and its induction was inhibited by curcumin(10μg/ml),an antitumor promoter from turineric.17hese results indicated that the immunoblotting analysis can be ilsed in a confirmation test for detection of antitumor promoting activity using the monoc!ona1 antibody col!jugated with the peroxidase.Furthermore,adhesion of Rii cells caused by treatment of TPA was inhibited by the curcumin in a dose-dependent manner,suggesting tllatthe inhibition of adhesion can be also
used in a preliminary test for detection of antitlimor promoting activity・

RI!ji cells and P3HR.1 cells ale-human B lymphoblastoid ce11 1ines cafTying the geno㎡e of Epst{iin-Barrvims (EBV). When the cells are treated with tumor promoters,12-θ-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-134cetate(17PA),EBv is produced in P3HR-1 cells but not in R司i cells. ln R咄cells,TPA induces the syntheses of EBv early antigens which divide into difnlse and restricted components based on their stain-ing pattems in EBV-infected cells by immunofh16rescence
using human sera of patients with infbctious mononucleosis. An inhibition assay of the TPA-induced antigen measured by immunofluorescence using human sera has been used for the
firstscreening of inhibitors of tumorpromotion.(1.2)ln our previous paper, we showed that the immunobotting analysis usiniμhe polyclonal antiserum against P3HR-1 cells treated withTPA can be detected the 48-kDa polypeptide iil R司i cells treated with TPA and the assay is useful confirmation test for detecting antitumor promoters. (3’4)However,stable supply of the antiserum is limited.Therefore,we attempt-ed to produce a monoclonal antibody agajnst early antigen of EBV.This paper describes the preparation,purificalion, and some appHcation of the antibody・

Discussion
Our previous studies demonstrated that the 4 8-kDa polypeptides induced in TPA-treated R・!ji cells is a diffijse component detectable in both the nucleus and cytoplasm of EBv early antigens and immunobotting analysis using the polyclonal antiserum against P3HR-l ceUs is useful confir-mation test for detecting antitumor promotiers.(3.4)ln this study,we produced a monoclonal antibody against early lmtigen of EBv for stable supply and showed that the antitumor promoting actiψityof curcumiil could be detected within 2 hr by one step immunostaining after blotting be-cause of the labeled monoclonal antibQdy. This study also demonstraled that the 54-kDa polypeptide was detected in TPA-treated RI!ji cells by the monoclonal antibody. This induced antigen may be phosphorylated foml of the 4 8-kDa polypeptide.(lo)No parallelinhibition by curcumin was ob-served 6n the expressions of 4 8-kDa and 54-kDa polypep-tidei・ suggesting that the difference is caused by lower synthesis of the 54’kDa phosphoprotein than that of the 48-kDa polyp6ptide. Therefore,lhe monoclonal antibody againstEBv eafly antigen prepafed in this study will be usefijl as fQr virological research in addition to’detection of antitumor promoting activity in natural products. Further-more,the adhesion of Rii cells caused by treatment of TPA was inhibited by the curcumin in a dose-dependent manner. suggesting that the inhibition of adhesion can be also used in a preliminary test for detection of antitumor promoting activity・
