Abstract:
Antibodies to Tumor Necrosis Factor receptors (TNF-Rs) which inhibit the cytocidal effect of TNF but not its binding to the TNF-Rs, and ligands interacting with other receptors of the TNF/NGF family, are provided together with methods of producing them. The antibodies preferably bind to the fourth cysteine rich domain of the p75 TNF receptor or to the region between said fourth cysteine rich domain and the cell membrane.
Abstract:
Antibodies to tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNF-Rs) are disclosed together with methods of producing them. The antibodies are preferably those which inhibit the cytotoxic effect of TNF but not its binding to the TNF-Rs. Most preferably, the antibodies bind to an extracellular domain of the C-terminal cysteine loop of the p75 TNF receptor, which loop consists of the amino acid sequence Cys-185 to Thr-201 of SEQ ID NO:3.

Abstract:
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Binding Protein is isolated and substantially purified. It has the ability to inhibit the cytotoxic effect of TNF and/or to maintain its prolonged beneficial effects. Isolated cDNA encoding TNF Binding Protein II is obtained and may be used to produce expression vectors, prokaryotic or eukaryotic expression hosts and methods of obtaining the protein by culturing of such hosts.

Abstract:
Antibodies to tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNF-Rs) are disclosed together with methods of producing them and methods of use of such antibodies in immunoassays and purification of TBP-II by affinity chromatography. A diagnostic assay for endogenous antibodies to TBP-II is also disclosed.
