Abstract
Non-histone chromosomal protein high mobility group 1 (HMG-1) rapidly migrates into the nucleus when injected into the cytoplasm of bovine fibroblasts and HeLa cells by red cell-mediated microinjection (Rechsteiner, M., and Kuehl, L. (1979) Cell 16, 901-908). We isolated hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies against HMG-1. One of these monoclonal antibodies, FR-1, inhibited in vitro binding of 125I-HMG-1 to chromatin isolated from FL cells. When 125I-HMG-1 was co-introduced with antibody FR-1 by red cell-mediated microinjection, antibody FR-1 did not prevent the accumulation of 125I-HMG-1 in the nucleus. When 125I-antibody FR-1 or fluorescein isothiocyanate antibody FR-1 was introduced into the cytoplasm of FL cells, most of the antibody did not accumulate in the nucleus. But when 125I- or fluorescein isothiocyanate antibody FR-1 was co-introduced with HMG-1 into the cytoplasm of FL cells, it did migrate into the nucleus.
