- Abstract
- Human oncoprotein MDM2 reveals a MHC class I binding motif HMDM441 characterizing MDM2 as a potential tumor antigen. To analyze the distribution of MDM2 proteins containing this motif in liver cancer cells we produced rabbit anti-HMDM441 serum. The novel antibodies bound to an MDM2 fragment of approximately 55 kDa which lacked the N-terminal region and was present in lysate and supernatant of a human hepatoma cell line overexpressing normal 90-kDa MDM2. The 55-kDa fragment was detected in the cytoplasm and nucleoli and at the nuclear envelope of hepatoma cells, whereas normal hepatocytes were negative. Double-fluorescence labeling indicated that the MDM2 fragments and MHC class I molecules were coexpressed on the surface of the hepatoma cells. Further studies must clarify whether MDM2 fragments containing motif HMDM441 are novel targets of immunotherapy and immunochemical tumor diagnosis. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
