MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY SPECIFICALLY RECOGNIZING HUMAN INTERFERON ALPHA SUBTYPE ALPHA-8 AND MUTANT PROTEIN THEREOF

摘要

An object of the invention is to provide a monoclonal antibody specific for interferon-a subtype a8 (hereinafter referred to as IFN a8) and a mutant protein thereof; a hybridoma capable of producing the antibody; a method for detecting IFN a8 and a mutant protein thereof using the antibody; a method for purifying IFN a8 and a mutant protein thereof using the antibody; and a therapeutic agent for various diseases onset or exacerbation of which is associated with IFN a8 containing the antibody as an active ingredient. The object is achieved by providing a monoclonal antibody specific for IFN a8 and a mutant protein thereof; a hybridoma capable of producing the antibody; a method for detecting IFN a8 and a mutant protein thereof by immunoreaction using the antibody; a method for purifying IFN a8 and a mutant protein thereof using the antibody; and a therapeutic agent for various diseases onset or exacerbation of which is associated with IFN a8 containing the antibody as an active ingredient.
