Water-soluble polypeptides having a high affinity for &agr; and &bgr; interferons

The subject invention relates to a purified receptor of human alpha interferon.

Purified human alpha interferon receptor

The present invention relates to antibodies against an alpha interferon receptor, as well as to kits comprising such antibodies. The antibodies of the invention are suitable for the assay of the receptors or for their visualization in the case of imaging. The present antibodies and kits can thus be used as diagnostics or imaging agents, or as pharmacological models to test compounds derived from human alpha interferon.

Antibodies directed against the alpha interferon receptor

The invention relates to the use of the human alpha interferon receptor and of non human host cells which express said receptor, to identify alpha interferon agonists.

Use of the alpha interferon receptor and cells which express the

Gene associated with X linked Kallmann syndrome and diagnostic

The invention relates to the human alpha interferon receptor and to the DNA sequence, including the cDNA sequence, encoding the receptor. The invention also relates to non-human cells which express said receptor, to a process for obtaining said cells, and to a process for the preparation of the receptor.
