Article Title: A high-affinity monoclonal antibody (GIF-1) to human gamma-interferon: Neutralization of interferon mediated inhibition of retrovirus production and 2 ́-5 ́ (A) synthetase induction
Abstract: An hybridoma clone secreting an IgG1 monoclonal antibody (GIF-1) specific for human gamma-interferon (HuIFN-γ) has been generated using HAT medium supplemented with insulin (HIAT) at the initial stage of cell fusion. This antibody is capable of neutralizing the antiviral activity of HuIFN-γ, the ability of HuIFN-γ to inhibit retroviral replication in RD-114 cells, and the ability of HuIFN-γ to induce the 2 ́-5 ́ oligoadenylate (A) synthetase in RD-114 and HeLa cells. Eluate from an immunoaffinity column containing GIF-1 yielded two protein bands of molecular weight of 20 and 25 kd when subjected to SDS-PAGE. © 1986 S. Karger AG, Basel.
