Abstract

The oligomers formed by a mutant nonkaryophilic large T antigen of simian virus 40, which lacks residues 110 through 152 of normal large T antigen and transforms only established cells (L. Fischer-Fantuzzi and C. Vesco, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 82:1891-1895, 1985), were found to consist predominantly of dimers. Anti-p53 antibodies precipitated 14 to 16S complexes containing the mutant nonkaryophilic large T antigen and p53 from extracts of transformed cells, and anti-p53 indirect immunofluorescence stained these cells in the cytoplasm.
