ISOLATED NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULES WHICH ENCODE SOLUBLE IL-TIF/IL-22 RECEPTOR OR BINDING PROTEIN WHICH BINDS TO IL-TIF/IL-22, AND USES THEREOF

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a soluble protein binding to IL-TIF/IL-22. PSOLUTION: The present invention relates to soluble proteins which bind to the molecule known as IL-TIF/IL-22. The proteins can antagonize the effect of IL-TIF/IL-22 on target cells. The nucleic acid molecules encoding the proteins and uses of the protein are also described. The isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding the soluble protein binding to IL-TIF/IL-22 is provided, wherein complementary nucleotide sequences of the isolated nucleic acid molecule hybridize to nucleic acids comprising a plurality of specific sequences under stringent conditions.
