POLYNUCLEOTIDES AND POLYPEPTIDES OF THE IL-12 FAMILY OF CYTOKINES

摘要

The present invention relates to the primate family of cytokines. Provided herein are polynucleotides encoding such polypeptides, and reagents useful for producing the encoded polypeptides in a host source, and for identifying compounds which bind and modulate the activity of the encoded polypeptides. Also provided are reagents useful for the diagnosis or treatment of inflammatory and/or autoimmune related diseases in primates.
