摘要 |
The present invention provides nucleotide and amino acid sequences that identify and encode novel expressed chemokines (ECs) from liver and pituitary gland tissues. The present invention also provides for antisense molecules to the nucleotide sequences which encode ECs, expression vectors for the production of purified ECs, antibodies capable of binding specifically to ECs, hybridization probes or oligonucleotides for the detection of EC-encoding nucleotide sequences, genetically engineered host cells for the expression of ECs, diagnostic tests for inflammation or disease based on EC-encoding nucleic acid molecules or antibodies capable of binding specifically to ECs, pharmaceutical compositions to treat inflammation or disease based on EC-encoding nucleic acid molecules or antibodies capable of binding specifically to ECs.
