Patent ID: 6949359

Claim:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of: (a) a DNA comprising a polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:8, and SEQ ID NO:13; (b) a DNA comprising a polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO: 8, wherein the polypeptide activates IKBα or p38 MAP kinase phosphorylation or cell surface expression of ICAM-1; (c) A DNA comprising a polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:13, wherein the polypeptide activates IKBα or p38 MAP kinase phosphorylation or cell surface expression of ICAM-1: and (d) a DNA comprising a polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:5, SEQ ID NO:7, and SEQ ID NO:12.
