摘要:
The present invention has the first object to provide a monoclonal antibody specific to interferon α subtype α8 (IFNα8) and its mutant proteins, the second object to provide a hybridoma capable of producing the monoclonal antibody, the third object to provide a method for detecting the IFNα8 and its mutant proteins by the monoclonal antibody, the fourth object to provide a method for purifying the IFNα8 and its mutant proteins by the monoclonal antibody, and the fifth object to provide a therapeutic agent for treating diseases whose onsets or exacerbation are related with IFNα8. The present invention solves the above objects by providing a monoclonal antibody specific to IFNα8 and its mutant proteins, a hybridoma capable of producing the monoclonal antibody, a method for detecting the IFNα8 and its mutant proteins by immunoreaction using the monoclonal antibody, a method for purifying the IFNα8 and its mutant proteins using the monoclonal antibody, and a therapeutic agent for treating diseases whose onsets or exacerbation are related with IFNα8, which contains the monoclonal antibody as an effective ingredient.

摘要:
Disclosed are an antibody specific to interleukin 18 (IL-18) precursor, preparation processes therefor, and uses thereof. The antibody includes immunoglobulins in both forms of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies which exhibits an immunoreactivity against IL-18 precursor at an intensity higher than against other substances. The antibody is useful in detection and purification of IL-18 precursor and in elimination and detoxification of the precursor accumulated in vivo. The detection method using the antibody is effective in qualitative and quantitative analyses for the precursor as well as in correction of imprecise results caused by assays using anti-IL-18 antibody which exhibits a cross reactivity against the precursor.
