Patent ID: 7033787

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule which encodes a cytokine receptor, which binds to AK155 and induces STAT activation wherein the complementary nucleotide sequence of said isolated nucleic acid molecule, hybridizes, under stringent conditions, to SEQ ID NO: 7 or SEQ ID NO: 9, wherein said straingent conditions are defined as hybridization at 65° C. in 3.5×SSC, 0.02% Ficoll, 0.02% polyvinylpyrrolidine, 0.02% bovine serum albumin, 25 mM NaH 2 PO 4 (pH 7), 0.1% SDS, 2 mM EDTA, and a final wash at room temperature with 2×SSC, followed by a wash at 0.1'SSC/0.2×SDS at a temperature as high as 65° C.
