A novel human CC chemokine ELC and a polynucleotide molecule encoding the same. The above protein is a human CC chemokine which is constitutively expressed in lymphoid tissues and is a ligand of the receptor EBI-1 known as undergoing selective expression in lymphocytes or a fragment or a variant thereof. The invention also provides a specific bond of this protein to G protein conjugated 7-transmembrane receptor EBI-1 and a method for assaying agonists and antagonists to this specific ligand/receptor system with the use of this bond. |
