Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing isolating and purifying trophoblast interferon proteins such as .beta.-interferons, .alpha..sub.I -interferon proteins, .alpha..sub.II -interferon proteins, and .gamma.-interferon proteins, and to a method of using the interferon proteins, e.g. for inhibiting tumoral growth or metastatic processes, for preventing graft-versus-host reaction, against leukemia, against viral activity, and against infection of the placenta; as well as antibodies against the interferon proteins.
