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.
