Endothelial monocyte activating polypeptide II: a mediator which activates host response

摘要

This invention provides a purified endothelial monocyte activating polypeptide (EMAP II). It further provides a method of obtaining purified endothelial monocyte activating polypeptide (EMAP II), a method of making antibodies to it and a method of detecting it. This invention also provides an effector cell activating protein which contains an amino acid sequence homologous to RIGRIVT and a method of detecting same. This invention also provides a method of treating a tumor in a subject by administering an effective dose of endothelial monocyte activating polypeptide (EMAP II).
