ANTI-INTERLOYKIN-DIMONOCLONAL ANTIBODY

摘要

Monoclonal antibodies recognizing interleukin-2 (IL-2) of various species (human, rat, mouse) are disclosed. These antibodies are useful in purification of IL-2 from biological sample as well as in separating IL-2 into various sub-species. Immunoassay of IL-2 and identification of cells containing IL-2 are made possible by these monoclonal antibodies. The monoclonal antibodies are also of therapeutic use in the treatment of syndromes associated with hyperproduction of interleukin-2 including hyperimmune syndromes GvH, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, T-cell lymphoma or leukemia.
