The invention relates to the human alpha receptor interferon and to the DNA sequence, in particular the cDNA sequence, characterized by the fact that it codes for the alpha interferon receptor gene. Furthermore, the invention relates to the non human cells which express said receptor, to a process for obtaining said cells, to a process for the preparation of a protein corresponding to said DNA fragment, to the protein thus obtained, and to the antibodies raised against said protein. The invention also relates to diagnostic kits based on said receptor and to the use of said receptor to identify human alpha IFN agonists. |
