Abstract

Antibodies have been produced that recognize the ribosome methylated nucleotide, 2'-O-methylguanosine 5'-monophosphate, pGm. Specificity was tested in a radioimmunoassay. Other ribose methylated nucleotides, deoxyguanosine, and guanosine 5'-monophosphate exhibited negligible cross-reactivity. Elements of antibody recognition, in descending order of importance, were the parent base, the methylated ribose moiety, and the phosphate group.
