IMMUNO-INTERACTIVE FRAGMENTS OF THE .ALPHA.C SUBUNIT OF INHIBIN

摘要

Novel immuno-interactive fragments of the .alpha.C portion of a mammalian inhibin .alpha.-subunit are disclosed, together with their variants and derivatives for producing antigen-binding molecules that are interactive wit h said .alpha.C portion, which are chemically well defined and which can be produced in commercially significant quantities. The antigen-binding molecul es of the invention can be used for the detection of a mammalian inhibin and fo r the treatment and/or prevention of conditions associated with aberrant level s of a mammalian inhibin.
