    摘要: This invention relates to a TRAF family molecule, a polynucleotide encoding the molecules, an antibody against the molecules, and an antisense polynucleotide of the molecule. Employing an oligo-DNA primer capable of amplifying the most highly conserved region of a known TRAF family molecule, PCR was performed with the aid of cDNA derived from various cell strains and tissues as a template. Thus, the base sequence of the gene of an unknown TRAF family molecule and the amino acid sequence of the TRAF family molecule encoded by the gene were elucidated. An antibody against the molecule was also prepared. By utilizing the TRAF family molecules, genes thereof, and antibodies against the molecules, there are provided methods for elucidating the functions of the proteins and methods for elucidating the signal transduction system of the TNF-R family involving the molecules, as well as probes for research and diagosis, which suggest applications in therapeutic agents.

    摘要: Novel humanized immunoglobulins and active fragments thereof which are specifically reactive to Fas ligand are provided, and a site on Fas ligand which is important to inhibit apoptosis induced by the Fas-Fas ligand interaction against Fas-expressing cells is demonstrated. The novel humanized immunoglobulins and active fragments thereof which are specifically reactive to Fas ligand are prepared from hybridomas which produce monoclonal antibodies specifically reactive to Fas ligand, via recombinant DNA techniques. The humanized immunoglobulins can inhibit the physiological reactions between Fas ligand and Fas such as apoptosis. Further, identification of the site which is on Fas ligand and responsible for apoptosis induction allows creation of recombinant proteins or peptides which are specifically reactive to the amino acids within the site so as to inhibit apoptosis, and to find new therapeutic or diagnostic agents.

    摘要: A drug for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, which comprises as an active ingredient a monoclonal antibody which recognizes specifically extracellular region of human VLA-2. Preferable drug for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis comprises as an active ingredient a monoclonal antibody which recognizes specifically extracellular region of human VLA-2, .alpha. chain. The above drug for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis can suppress swelling due to arthritis in rheumatoid arthritis with low toxicity and hence is useful for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
