Polypeptide derived from a human glioblastomer cell line and DNA's encoding it.

摘要

The present invention is related to novel polypeptide consisting of 170 amino acids which is produced in a human glioblastoma cell line, a method of producing it, DNA encoding the said polypeptide, a fragment capable of selectively hybridizing to the DNA sequence, a replication or expression vector comprising the DNA and a host cell transformed with the replication or expression vector. The polypeptide of the present invention may be useful for the prevention of or in the treatment of aplasia or abnormal proliferation, of glias, neurons or haematopoient cell, depression or enhancement of immunological or neurological activity, inflamatory desease, or tumors.
