Cloning and characterization of a bovine alpha interferon receptor.
A bovine interferon alpha receptor (BoIFN-alpha R1) cDNA, homologous to the human cDNA, was isolated. Transfection of the BoIFN-alpha R1 cDNA into monkey COS cells results in a large increase in high-affinity binding sites for human IFN-alpha A and IFN-alpha B. Covalent crosslinking of radiolabeled HuIFN-alpha A and -alpha B demonstrates that the complex of [32P]HuIFN with the BoIFN-alpha R1 protein (predicted mass, 61,375) expressed in COS cells migrates as a 140-150 kDa band.
