Abstract

DNA sequences encoding for novel human lymphoblastoid-leukocyte hybrid interferons. Methods of making nucleotide sequences comprising ribosome binding sites, promoter regions, and segments of human lymphoblastoid and leukocyte interferons are described. DNA sequences for hybrid interferons are cloned and expressed in plasmid vectors. Transformed microorganisms and novel lymphoblastoid-leukocyte polypeptide interferons having biological or immunological activity are disclosed.
