    Abstract: A new homogeneous cytosolic binding protein (FKBP-14.6 immunophilin) having a molecular weight of about 14.6 kDa (calculated from its amino acid composition), reversibly binds the immunosuppressive drugs FK-506, rapamycin or chemically related compounds, but not cyclosporine. The FKBP-14.6 protein has a pI of 6.5-7.5, and the (partial) N-terminal amino acid sequence: NH.sub.2 -Lys-Leu-Pro-Tyr-Glu-Leu-Lys-Xaa-Asn-Val-Lys-Ala-Phe-Xaa-Xaa-Lys-Val- (Seq. ID. No: 1) (where Xaa is undefined), and partial internal amino acid sequences -Val-Leu-Asp-Thr-Ala-Tyr-Glu-Tyr-Gly-Ala-Glu-Ala-Leu-Glu- (Seq. ID. No: 2), -Glu-Phe-Thr-Pro-Val-Phe-Gln-Ala-Xaa-Phe- (Seq. ID. No: 3) and -Ser-Leu-Val-Pro-Leu-Val-Gly-Xaa-Lys- (Seq. ID. No. 4) (where Xaa is undefined). This N-terminal amino acid sequence exhibits no homology to FKBP-12 or membrane-associated FKBP-13. The FKBP-14.6 is isolated from the cytosol of mammalian tissues, preferably calf thymus, and can be used in diagnostic and purification procedures involving FK-506 and rapamycin-type immunosuppressant drugs.

    Abstract: The present invention provides for a method for preparing antibodies that specifically detect the type IV collagen .alpha.5 chain that is defective in various basement membrane disorders such as in X chromosome-linked Alport's syndrome. The invention further provides for the use of such antibodies to detect the .alpha.5(IV) collagen chain in solutions and other human tissue specimens using immunological methods comprised of antibodies specific for said protein. Along this line, the invention relates to the use of the specific antibodies to examine the presence or absence of the .alpha.5(IV) collagen chain in the tissues, e.g. skin or kidneys, etc. of patients with renal failure, possibly due to Alport's syndrome.

    Abstract: A new cellular protein produced by activated T cells and involved in the high affinity binding of interleukin-2 has been discovered. This protein has a molecular weight of about 75,000 (Mr) and is further characterized as having an affinity for IL-2 (in the absence of other receptor proteins) of about 10.sup.-9 molar and is substantially unreactive with anti-Tac antibodies. This new cellular protein, referred to herein as the ".alpha. chain," is believed to interact with the previously isolated 55,000 dalton receptor protein (referred to herein as the ".beta. chain") to form the high affinity interleukin-2 receptor which triggers the growth and mitosis of T cells during an immune response. Methods for isolating and purifying the .alpha. chain protein are disclosed herein as well as techniques for cloning and expressing the protein and related materials. Techniques for raising monoclonal antibodies to such proteins are also disclosed. Diagnostic and therapeutic uses for the novel receptor protein (or particular epitopes thereof) as well as monoclonal antibodies (or active fragments) reactive therewith are proposed.
