<p>The present invention relates to identification of a gene upregulated by interferon-α administration corresponding to the cDNA sequence set forth in SEQ. ID. No. 1 and SEQ. ID. No. 3. Determination of expression products of this gene is proposed as having utility in predicting responsiveness to treatment with interferon-α and othe interferons which act at the Type 1 interferon receptor. Therapeutic use of the protein encoded by the same gene is also envisaged.</p> |
