WSX-1/P28 AS A TARGET FOR ANTI-INFLAMMATORY RESPONSES

摘要

Compositions and methods relating to WSX-1 and p28 (IL-30) are provided. In particular, methods of treating inflammatory conditions in mammalian subjects using various WSX-1, p28, EBI3, and gp130 polypeptides and complexes or moieties that bind to or modulate activity of such complexes are described. Isolated or recombinant complexes including soluble WSX-1 or gp130 polypeptides, isolated or recombinant WSX-1 fusion proteins, and isolated or recombinant p28 fusion proteins are also described.
