Abstract
Amino acid sequences of tryptic and chymotryptic peptides from human lymphoblastoid interferon (IFN-.alpha.) were determined. IFN-.alpha. consists of a family of proteins with at least 5 different, but homologous, primary structures. There appears to be little, if any, glycosylation of the major components of IFN-.alpha.Keywords
