Neutrokine-alpha polypeptides

   
   

The present invention relates to a novel Neutrokine-alpha, and a splice variant thereof designated Neutrokine-alphaSV, polynucleotides and polypeptides which are members of the TNF family. In particular isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided encoding the human Neutrokine-alpha and/or Neutrokine-alphaSV polypeptides, including soluble forms of the extracellular domain. Neutrokine-alpha and/or Neutrokine-alphaSV agonists and antagonists of Neutrokine-alpha and/or Neutrokine-alphaSV activity. Also producing the same. The invention further relates to screening methods for identifying agonists and antagonists of Neutrokine-alpha and/or Neutrokine-alphaSV activity. Also provided are diagnostic methods for detecting immune system-related disorders and therapeutic methods for treating immune system-related disorders.

La présente invention concerne un Neutrokine-alpha de roman, et une variante d'épissure a en indiqué Neutrokine-alphaSV, polynucleotides et polypeptides qui sont des membres de la famille de TNF. En particulier des molécules d'isolement d'acide nucléique sont fournies codant l'Neutrokine-alpha et/ou les polypeptides humains de Neutrokine-alphaSV, y compris les formes solubles du domaine extracellulaire. Neutrokine-alpha et/ou agonistes de Neutrokine-alphaSV et antagonistes d'Neutrokine-alpha et/ou d'activité de Neutrokine-alphaSV. En outre production de la même chose. L'invention autre se relie aux méthodes de criblage pour identifier des agonistes et des antagonistes d'Neutrokine-alpha et/ou d'activité de Neutrokine-alphaSV. En outre fournies sont des méthodes diagnostiques pour détecter des désordres reliés au système immunisés et les méthodes thérapeutiques pour traiter des désordres reliés au système immunisés.
