<p>Monoclonal antibody characterised by its specificity to interferon-(Alpha)(leukocyte interferon). Preferably the antibody has specificity to human interferon-(Alpha). The monoclonal antibody is secreted by a hybrid cell formed by the fusion of lymphocyte cells derived from an animal immunized with interferon-(Alpha), with mycloma cells. The antibody has applications in the purification of interferon. It may be covalently attached to a solid support and used as an immuno-adsorbent. Purifications of up to 5000 fold may be obtained in a single pass through an immunoadsorption column of this type. An immunoradiometric assay for interferon-(Alpha) is also described. </p> |
