All types of papillomaviruses (PV) share common, so-called group-specific epitopes. To identify the major group-specific epitopes, we immunized 26 guinea pigs or rabbits with purified bovine PV type 1 (BPV), canine PV, or avian PV from the common chaffinch. The resulting hyperimmune sera, as well as a commercially available rabbit antiserum to BPV and seven monoclonal antibodies to BPV, were tested in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with a set of 66 overlapping 20-amino-acid peptides representing the complete sequence of the major capsid proteins (L1 and L2) of human PV type 16 (HPV 16). Sera from the same animals before immunization were used as controls. The minimal reactive epitopes within each peptide were further characterized by testing of truncated peptides. The cross-reactive epitopes were clustered in two regions of L1, an internal region (at positions 171 to 235), which contained three epitopes, and the more reactive region at the carboxy terminus (at positions 411 to 475), which contained six epitopes. The most reactive of the HPV 16 broadly cross-reactive epitopes was a carboxy-terminal epitope which had the sequence DTYRF and which reacted with nine of the antisera to BPV, canine PV, or avian PV, with the commercially available rabbit antiserum to BPV, and also with a mouse monoclonal antibody to BPV. Antipeptide antisera to all of the HPV 16 L1 peptides and to the most antigenically reactive of their truncated analogs were made in guinea pigs. Antipeptide antisera reactive with BPV were obtained for three of the cross-reactive epitopes, and one of these antisera allowed highly sensitive detection of group-specific PV antigen by immunoperoxidase staining.
