METHODS OF TREATING OR PREVENTING CELL, TISSUE, AND ORGAN DAMAGE USING HUMAN MYELOID PROGENITOR INHIBITORY FACTOR-1 (MPIF-1)

摘要

There are disclosed therapeutic compositions and methods using isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding a human myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor-1 (MPIF-1) polypeptide (previously termed MIP-3 and chemokine β8 (CKβ8 or ckb-8)), as well as MPIF-1 polypeptide itself, as are vectors, host cells and recombinant methods for producing the same.
