Monoclonal antibodies to human interferon-gamma. II: Antibodies with neutralizing activity. 1987

Y Ichimori, and N Suzuki, and C Kitada, and K Tsukamoto

Two types of hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies (MAB) with neutralizing activity against human interferon-r (HuIFN-r) were obtained by somatic cell hybridization between mouse myeloma P3UI cells and spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with purified recombinant HuIFN-r and a conjugate of a synthetic amino-terminal peptide (residues 4-21) of HuIFN-r and bovine thyroglobulin. One of these MAB recognized the amino-terminal region (residues 4-21) of HuIFN-r, and the other recognized some region in the internal part (residues 22-130) of the molecule. These results suggest that another region, in addition to the amino-terminal region, contributed to the biological activity of rHuIFN-r. A combination of one of these MAB and a previously described MAB directed to the carboxyl-terminal region (residues 131-146) of HuIFN-r enables a quantitative and sensitive assay method of biologically active rHuIFN-r.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES. Interferon Type II,Interferon, Immune,gamma-Interferon,Interferon, gamma,Type II Interferon,Immune Interferon,Interferon, Type II
D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50).
