RESUMO
Tau antigens (also known as cellular or nonviral tumor antigens) were detected in uninfected and simian virus 40-infected monkey cells after immunoprecipitation with serum from hamsters bearing simian virus 40-induced tumours (anti-T serum). These two proteins (56,000 daltons) were digested to similarly sized peptides with various amounts of Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease. The Tau antigen isolated from infected monkey cells was closely related but was not identical to the corresponding protein from human cells transformed by simian virus 40, as determined by two-dimensional mapping of their methionine-labeled tryptic peptides. Hamster cells transformed by various primate papovaviruses (simian virus 40, BK virus, and JC virus) synthesized indistinguishable Tau antigens, as determined by two-dimensional peptide mapping. When tested by the same procedure, these proteins and the ones made in monkey and human cells were found to be related to the Tau antigens isolated from simian virus 40-transformed mouse and rat cells. Based on these results, an "evolutionary tree" was constructed to show the relationship among the methionine-containing tryptic peptides of all of these proteins.
