MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES SPECIFIC AGAINST IL-32 ANTIGENS, HYBRIDOMA PRODUCING THE MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AND DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS USING THE MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES

摘要

The present invention provides monoclonal antibodies specific for interleukin-32 (IL-32, previously referred to as "natural killer cell transcript 4" or "NK4") and hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies specific for IL-32. Also provided are diagnostic methods and kits (e.g., ELISA, Western blot, etc.) which utilize monoclonal antibodies specific for IL-32.
