IL-17 HOMOLOGOUS POLYPEPTIDES AND THERAPEUTIC USES THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide identification and isolation of novel DNA and recombinant production of novel polypeptides having sequence identity to interleukin-17 and to interleukin-17 receptor protein.SOLUTION: The present invention provides novel polypeptides and nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides, and recombinant production methods for producing the polypeptides.SELECTED DRAWING: None
