PORCINE B7-1 AND ANTIBODIES THERETO

摘要

Soluble and transmembrane porcine B7-1 proteins, their amino acid sequences, nucleic acid sequences coding therefor, as well as antibodies reactive with the B7-1 proteins are disclosed. Methods of making the soluable and transmembrane porcine B7-1 DNA, cDNA, proteins, and antibodies, as well as, methods of using the B7-1 molecules and antibodies thereto, including use in the prevention and/or treatment of rejection of xenotransplants and treatmen t of inflammatory diseases, are described.
