Abstract:
Using a high titred human leukocyte IFN alpha preparation which contained both acid- and thermolabile (AL-IFN alpha) and acid- and thermostable IFN alpha species in 9:1 proportion for immunization of BALB/c mice, five hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies that reacted with AL-IFN alpha were obtained. In antiviral and antiproliferative tests on HL-60 cells, their products showed high degree of specificity for AL-IFN alpha. The results suggest that both the "normal" leukocyte AL-IFN alpha and the IFN alpha found in sera of autoimmune and other chronic patients might belong to the same subtype of IFN alpha.

Immune Response Against Viral Pathogens
NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
