Abstract
Mouse IgG.sub.1 inducing factor and the DNA that codes for the same were isolated by using a novel genetic technique, and their structures determined by the dideoxy chain termination method. The mouse IgG.sub.1 inducing factor obtained by the method of this invention has activity to improve immune response in living bodies and are hence useful for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases, AIDS, functional immunodeficiency and the like. This factor, or part of its amino acid sequence, may also be used for the preparation of antibody against the same. In addition, it is possible to use this factor as a model for the synthesis of other polypeptides having similar structures, and for many other purposes.
