Abstract

SUMMARY

Analysis of the neutralization of human interferon- by the monoclonal antibody NK2 showed, by three different methods, that the avidity constant was about 10 . A small decrease in the avidity constant (and in the antibody titre) with increasing interferon concentrations was observed, suggesting that the antibody-interferon complex had a little biological activity. The antibody neutralizes the interferon by preventing the binding of interferon to susceptible cells. It does not react with human-, mouse-, monkey, bovine or rabbit interferons.
