Abstract:
1. An isolated antibody or fragment thereof that specifically binds to a protein selected from the group consisting of: (a) a protein consisting of amino acid residues 1 to 41 of SEQ ID NO:2; (b) a protein consisting of amino acid residues −22 to 41 of SEQ ID NO:2; (c) a protein consisting of amino acid residues −23 to 41 of SEQ ID NO:2; (d) a protein consisting of a portion of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein said portion comprises at least 30 contiguous amino acid residues of SEQ ID NO:2; (e) a protein consisting of a portion of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein said portion comprises at least 50 contiguous amino acid residues of SEQ ID NO:2; (f) an antimicrobial protein consisting of the polypeptide encoded by the cDNA contained in ATCC Deposit Number 97982 expressed from a cell; (g) an antimicrobial protein consisting of the full-length polypeptide encoded by the cDNA contained in ATCC Deposit Number 97982; (h) an antimicrobial protein comprising the amino acid sequence of the full-length polypeptide encoded by the cDNA contained in ATCC Deposit Number 97982 minus the N-terminal methionine; (i) an antimicrobial protein consisting of a portion of the polypeptide encoded by the cDNA contained in ATCC Deposit Number 97982, wherein said portion comprises at least 30 contiguous amino acid residues of the polypeptide encoded by the cDNA contained in ATCC Deposit Number 97982; and (j) an antimicrobial protein consisting of a portion of the polypeptide encoded by the cDNA contained in ATCC Deposit Number 97982, wherein said portion comprises at least 50 contiguous amino acid residues of the polypeptide encoded by the cDNA contained in ATCC Deposit Number 97982.
