Nucleotide sequences which are selectively expressed in pre-B cells and probes therefor

摘要

The present invention provides nucleotide sequences which are selectively expressed in pre-B cells, probes comprising a polynucleotide hybridizing specifically to such a nucleotide sequence and methods for the production of such probes. These probes may be used for identifying pre-B cells. The invention further provides polypeptides translated from a transcript comprising a nucleotide sequence which is selectively expressed in pre-B cells or parts thereof, antibodies against these polypeptides and methods for the preparation and use of the polypeptides and antibodies raised against them.
