摘要:
The invention features a method for identifying a cDNA nucleic acid encoding a mammalian protein having a signal sequence, which method includes the following steps: (a) providing library of mammalian cDNA; (b) ligating the library of mammalian cDNA to DNA encoding alkaline phosphatase lacking both a signal sequence and a membrane anchor sequence to form ligated DNA; (c) transforming bacterial cells with the ligated DNA to create a bacterial cell clone library; (d) isolating DNA comprising the mammalian cDNA from at least one clone in the bacterial cell clone library; (e) separately transfecting DNA isolated from clones in step (d) into mammalian cells which do not express alkaline phosphatase to create a mammalian cell clone library wherein each clone in the mammalian cell clone library corresponds to a clone in the bacterial cell clone library; (f) identifying a clone in the mammalian cell clone library which express alkaline phosphatase; (g) identifying the clone in the bacterial cell clone library corresponding to the clone in the mammalian cell clone library identified in step (f); and (h) isolating and sequencing a portion of the mammalian cDNA present in the bacterial cell library clone identified in step (g) to identify a mammalian cDNA encoding a mammalian protein having a signal sequence.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions for the treatment and diagnosis of immune disorders, especially T helper lymphocyte-related disorders, and also for the treatment of mast cell-related processes and disorders, ischemic disorders and injuries, including ischemic renal disorders and injuries. For example, genes which are differentially expressed within and among T helper (TH) cells and TH cell subpopulations, which include, but are not limited to TH0, TH1 and TH2 cell subpopulations are identified. Genes are also identified via the ability of their gene products to interact with gene products involved in the differentiation, maintenance and effector function of such TH cells and TH cell subpopulations. The genes identified can be used diagnostically or as targets for therapeutic intervention. In this regard, the present invention provides methods for the identification and therapeutic use of compounds as treatments of immune disorders, especially TH cell subpopulation-related disorders. Additionally, methods are provided for the diagnostic evaluation and prognosis of TH cell subpopulation-related disorders, for the identification of subjects exhibiting a predisposition to such conditions, for monitoring patients undergoing clinical evaluation for the treatment of such disorders, and for monitoring the efficacy of compounds used in clinical trials. Methods are also provided for the treatment of symptoms associated with mast cell-related processes or disorders and ischemic disorders and injuries using the genes, gene products and antibodies of the invention.
