Abstract excerpt
Loss of anti-viral potency upon pH2-treatment is an inherent feature of interferon (IFN)-gamma. The phenomenon seems to be caused by dissociation of IFN-gamma homodimer into subunits upon acidification and subsequent self-association of monomers into aggregates with reduced activity after neutralization. We demonstrated that acid-stability could be engineered into human IFN-gamma without affecting its specific...
