Abstract:
1. An isolated polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide consisting of a fragment of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein the polypeptide fragment comprises at least 15 contiguous amino acid residues of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 selected from the group consisting of: (a) amino acid residues 21 to 231 of SEQ ID NO:2, (b) amino acid residues 21 to 210 of SEQ ID NO:2, (c) amino acid residues 22 to 231 of SEQ ID NO:2, (d) amino acid residues 22 to 210 of SEQ ID NO:2, (e) amino acid residues 22 to 108 of SEQ ID NO:2, (f) amino acid residues 112 to 210 of SEQ ID NO:2, and (g) amino acid residues 21 to 110 of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein said polypeptide binds IL-TIF (SEQ ID NO:15).
