摘要:
A cDNA clone is provided which encodes a human receptor for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G. Soluble forms of the receptor may be useful in treating disorders associated with excessive immunoglobulin G production. Cells expressing membrane-bound forms of the receptor are useful in assays for immune complexes, elevated levels of which are associated with numerous disease states, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis.
摘要:
Soluble and membrane-bound human FcγRIII and variants are provided, together with nucleic acids encoding the same. Also described are pharmaceutical compositions containing FcγRIII or variants and the use of these proteins for treatment of immune thrombocytopenic purpura.

摘要:
Soluble and membrane-bound forms of human FcγRIII are provided, together with nucleic acids capable of encoding the same. Soluble FcγRIIIs are useful in ameliorating the serum platelet deficiency associated with immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Cells expressing membrane-bound FcγRIII are useful components in assays for serum immune complexes.

摘要:
cDNA clones are provided which allow the production of polypeptides exhibiting glycosylation inhibiting factor (GIF) activity. Such polypeptides are useful in the treatment of atopic disease. A clone, designated TGIF4, which is capable of encoding mouse polypeptides having GIF activity, is deposited with the ATCC under accession number 67311.
摘要:
Plasmid vectors are provided that carry complementary DNA (cDNA) clones coding for polypeptides exhibiting mammalian IgE binding factor activity. One of these clones contains an open reading frame consisting of 556 codons. The cDNA is derived for example from messenger RNA isolated from a rat/mouse T-cell hybridoma line. The cDNA can be cloned by incorporation into a pcD plasmid vector. The plasmid vector also contains DNA segments from th SV40 virus, permitting expression of the cDNA to form a polypeptide having IgE potentiating activity after transfection into a mammalian host cell, such as monkey Cos7 cells.
