Abstract:
An isolated antibody selected from the group consisting of:a) an antibody which specifically binds to a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ED NO:2, wherein the antibody binds to an epitope of a polypeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, b) an antibody which specifically binds to a polypeptide comprising a naturally occurring ammo acid sequence at least 90% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein the polypeptide has chemotactic activity or is able to activate neutrophils or monocytes, and wherein the antibody binds to an epitope of a polypeptide consisting of a naturally occurring amino acid sequence at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:2, and c) an antibody which specifically binds to a fragment comprising at least 9 contiguous amino acids of a polypeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein the fragment has chemotactic activity or is able to activate neutrophils or monocytes.
