PG - 866-71 AB - Antibodies to an N-terminal synthetic peptide of mouse gamma interferon (MoIFN gamma) neutralized the antiviral activity of MoIFN gamma but not MoIFN alpha/beta, human IFN alpha (HuIFN alpha), HuIFN beta or cynomologus monkey IFN gamma (CynIFN gamma). Comparatively, antibodies to mouse N-terminal synthetic peptide showed only 10% reciprocal cross-reactivity in neutralization tests against heterologous HuIFN gamma and 13% cross-reactivity in the ELISA test against Hu N-terminal peptide. The predetermined specificity of these antibodies make them powerful tools for studying antigenic relatedness and biological properties of IFN gamma s.
