Abstract:
An antibody that specifically binds to a biologically active human LSIRF polypeptide, or a fragment thereof, wherein such polypeptide or fragment thereof is encoded by a nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of:a) a nucleic acid molecule having a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1; b) a nucleic acid molecule having a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:4; c) a nucleic acid molecule having a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:24 or the â€œDouble Qâ€  variant thereof; d) a nucleic acid molecule having a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2; e) a nucleic acid molecule having a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:25 or the â€œDouble Qâ€  variant thereof; f) a nucleic acid molecule having a nucleotide sequence which hybridizes under washing conditions of 0.015M naCl, 0.005 M NaCitrate, and 0.1 percent SDS at 55-65C with the complement of a nucleic acid molecule of any of (a)-(e) above, or with the complement of a fragment thereof.
