FIELD: chemistry.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biotechnology and immunology. Invention discloses a monoclonal antibody and its antigen-binding parts which specifically bind the C-end or central part of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). The anti-MIF antibody and its antigen-binding part further inhibit biological function of the human MIF. The invention also describes an isolated heavy and light chain of immunoglobulins obtained from anti-MIF antibodies, and molecules of nucleic acids which encode such immunoglobulins.EFFECT: disclosed is a method of identifying anti-MIF antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions containing said antibodies and a method of using said antibodies and compositions for treating diseases associated with MIF.22 cl, 14 dwg, 16 ex |
