Patent ID: 7381809

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid having at least 95% nucleic acid sequence identity to: (a) a nucleic acid sequence encoding the polypeptide shown in FIG. 12 (SEQ ID NO:12); (b) a nucleic acid sequence encoding-amino acids 31-156 of the polypeptide shown in FIG. 12 (SEQ ID NO:12); (c) the nucleic acid sequence shown in FIG. 11 (SEQ ID NO:11); (d) the full-length coding sequence of the nucleic acid sequence shown in FIG. 11 (SEQ ID NO:11); or (e) the full-length coding sequence of the cDNA deposited under ATCC accession number PTA-617, wherein the isolated nucleic acid encodes a polypeptide that induces T-cell proliferation.
