The present invention relates to compositions of matter and methods for
the treatment and diagnosis of immune related diseases, including those
mediated by cytokines released primarily either Th1 or Th2 cells in
response to antigenic stimulation. The present invention further relates
to methods for biasing the differentiation of T-cells in either the Th1
subtype or the Th2 subtype based on the relative expression levels of the
gene PRO92726, and its agonists or antagonists. The present invention
further relates to a method of diagnosing Th1- and Th2-mediated diseases.
