MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AGAINST HUMAN APOPTOSIS INHIBITORY PROTEIN NAIP AND METHOD FOR ASSAYING NAIP

摘要

Monoclonal antibodies specifically recognizing a human apoptosis inhibitory protein NAIP having the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 which are anti-NAIP monoclonal antibodies produced respectively by hybridomas prepared by fusing antibody-producing cells of mammals immunized with immunogens containing a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence consisting of the amino acids of the numbers 256 to 586 in SEQ ID NO:1 or a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence consisting of the amino acids of the numbers 841 to 1052 in SEQ ID NO:1 or parts thereof with a myeloma cell line; a method for assaying NAIP by using these antibodies; and NAIP assay kits.
