FIELD: biotechnology, immunology.

SUBSTANCE: invention describes a monoclonal anti-IFNα antibody that binds with the following subtypes of IFNα: IFNα1, IFNα2, IFNα4, IFNα5, IFNα8, IFNα10 and IFNα21 and comprises three CDR-sites of heavy chain. Amino acid is given in the invention description. Invention discloses heavy chain of anti-IFNα antibody or its fragment that comprise indicated CDR-sites also. Invention describes anti-IFNα antibody that comprises at least one light chain and one heavy chain. Invention discloses variants of nucleic acids encoding indicated antibodies and variants of vectors used for expression of nucleic acids, and variants of transformed host-cells. Among expression vectors invention describes also vectors deposited at № 2881 and № 2882 carrying heavy and light chain of antibody, respectively. Invention describes a method for preparing antibody from indicated cells. Invention discloses the murine hybridoma cell line deposited in ATCC at number № РТА-2917, and antibody produced by indicated cell line. Also, invention describes variants of the antibody-base pharmaceutical composition and a method used for diagnosis of autoimmune disease. Also, invention discloses using antibodies in treatment of disease or state associated with enhanced level of IFNα in a patient. Using the invention provides inhibiting biological activity of at least seven human IFNα subtypes simultaneously, namely: IFNα1, IFNα2, IFNα4, IFNα5, IFNα8, IFNα10 and IFNα12 that can be used in diagnosis and therapy of different human diseases mediated by IFNα, such as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or erythematosus lupus.

EFFECT: valuable biological and medicinal properties of antibodies.
