摘要:
A polypeptide which specifically binds to the .gamma.-chain of the human interleukin-2 receptor and selectively inhibits the binding of the .gamma.-chain of human interleukin-2 receptor to the .beta.-chain of the same is provided. The polypeptide has an activity of blocking the human interleukin-2 response. Also provided are an immunosuppressant containing the polypeptide, a DNA gene coding for the polypeptide, a recombinant DNA having the gene, a transformant having the recombinant DNA, and a method for producing the intended polypeptide by incubating the transformant. The novel polypeptide can be used independently, or with substances capable of inhibiting the binding of interleukin-2 to the interleukin-2 receptor, as a medicine for preventing the rejection of grafts after transplantation and also for curing inflammatory diseases such as allergic diseases and autoimmune diseases.

摘要:
The invention provides a method for detecting (1) leukemia, (2) cancer, (3) autoimmune disorder, (4) inflammatory disorder, (5) allergic disorder or (6) viral infection, characterized by measuring soluble, human interleukin-2 receptor .gamma.-chain molecules existing in a human body fluid by an immunochemical method using an antibody/antibodies specifically reacting with human interleukin-2 receptor .gamma.-chain molecule, and a reagent for the detection.
摘要:
The present invention provides an immunodeficient mouse (NOG mouse) suitable for engraftment, differentiation and proliferation of heterologous cells, and a method of producing such a mouse. This mouse is obtained by backcrossing a C.B-17-scid mouse with an NOD/Shi mouse, and further backcrossing an interleukin 2-receptor γ-chain gene-knockout mouse with the thus backcrossed mouse. It is usable for producing a human antibody and establishing a stem cell assay system, a tumor model and a virus-infection model.

摘要:
A knockout mouse whose genome includes an inactivated CRTH2 gene. The knockout mouse is obtained by subjecting to a serial passage a chimeric mouse originating from an early embryo to which a CRTH2-gene-knocked-out mouse embryonic stem cell has been introduced. Also disclosed is a detection method which includes employing, as an index, pathological condition of the knockout mouse to which the test substance has been administered, to thereby detect, in vivo, characteristics of a test substance in relation to CRTH2, or functions of CRTH2 in the living body.
