  • Immunoassay of human growth hormone with a molecular weight of about 20,000
    Patent number: 6235490
    Abstract: An animal cell capable of producing an antibody specific to a human growth hormone having a molecular weight of 20,000 (20 k hGH) was prepared from an animal immunized with 20 k hGH. The animal cell was fused with a myeloma cell to produce a monoclonal antibody which specifically reacted to 20 k hGH, but substantially not to 22 k hGH. The monoclonal antibody was useful for immunoassay of 20 k hGH.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 29, 1998
    Date of Patent: May 22, 2001
    Assignee: Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.
    Inventors: Ichiro Ikeda, Naoko Kono, Tadashi Makino, Yoshihide Hashimoto
