  • MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY AGAINST INTERFERON-GAMMA (IFN-GAMMA) INDUCING FACTOR (IFIG, IL-18)
    Publication number: 20140336364
    Abstract: A protein which induces the IFN-? production by immunocompetent cells and has a molecular weight of 19,000±5,000 daltons on SDS-PAGE or gel filtration method and a pI of 4.8±1.0 on chromatofocusing. The protein is isolated from mouse liver and can be purified by a monoclonal antibody specific to it. The monoclonal antibody can be also used for assaying the protein.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 31, 2014
    Publication date: November 13, 2014
    Inventors: Haruki OKAMURA, Tadao TANIMOTO, Kakuji TORIGOE, Toshi KUNIKATA, Mutsuko TANIGUCHI, Keizo KOHNO, Masashi KURIMOTO
