    摘要: This invention relates to human and murine HPR1 and human and murine HPR2 polypeptides, new members of the hematopoietin receptor polypeptide family; to methods of making such HPR1 and HPR2 polypeptides; to non-human mammals in which the endogenous genomic sequences encoding HPR1 and/or HPR2 polypeptides have been partially or completely inactivated; to methods of using HPR1 or HPR2 polypeptides to identify compounds that alter HPR1 or HPR2 polypeptide activities; and to methods of preparing medicaments for and/or treating conditions associated with hematopoietin receptor function.

    摘要: The invention is directed to purified and isolated novel ULBP polypeptides, the nucleic acids encoding such polypeptides, processes for production of recombinant forms of such polypeptides, antibodies generated against these polypeptides, fragmented peptides derived from these polypeptides, and the uses of the above. ULBP polypeptide can be found on the surface of human B cell lymphomas. Mammalian forms of ULBP polypeptide in isolated or purified forms are provided. In addition, isolated nucleic acids encoding ULBP polypeptides and expression vectors comprising a cDNA encoding ULBP polypeptides are provided. The ULBP polypeptides can be isolated or synthesized and used to prepare antibodies, and in particular monoclonal antibodies, against the polypeptides. The antibodies, in turn, are useful for detecting the presence of ULBP polypeptides in human cell samples, which can be correlated with the existence of a malignant condition in a patient. ULBP polypeptides stimulate IFN-γ production, NK cell proliferation, and CTL activity.

    摘要: A new family of immunoreceptor molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily, (LIR) polypeptides is described. Disclosed are sequences encoding LIR family members and their deduced amino acid sequences, polypeptides encoded by DNA that hybridize to oligonucleotide probes having defined sequences, processes for producing polypeptides of the LIR family, and antagonistic antibodies to LIR family members. LIR family members can be used to treat autoimmune diseases and disease states associated with suppressed immune function.
