SOLUBLE HUMAN INTERLEUKIN 18 RECEPTOR-α, METHOD OF ASSAYING THE SAME, ASSAY KIT AND MEDICINAL COMPOSITION

摘要

[PROBLEMS] To confirm the presence of a solubilized human IL-18 receptor-α by a novel ELISA method and provide an assay kit and a medicinal composition containing the solubilized human IL-18 receptor-α as the active ingredient. [MENAS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A solubilized human interleukin-18 receptor-α, a method of assaying the solubilized human interleukin-18 receptor-α by an enzyme immunoassay method characterized by using the following antibody (A), a kit for assaying the solubilized human interleukin-18 receptor-α and a medicinal composition containing the solubilized human IL-18 receptor-α. (A) An anti-human interleukin-18 receptor-α monoclonal antibody capable of recognizing the same epitope as an H44 mouse anti-human interleukin-18 receptor-α monoclonal antibody.
