"ISOLATED POLYPEPTIDE, FUSION PROTEIN, ISOLATED POLYNUCLEOTIDE MOLECLE, EXPRESSION VECTOR, CULTURED CELL, ANTIBODY OR FRAGMENT, AND, METHODS TO MAKE A PROTEIN A PROPULY TO RESPONSE MUSDLE CELLS hematopoietic AND PARENTS CELLS hematopoietic TO DETECT THE RNA ZCYTOR17LIG AND ZCYTOR17LIG pRESENCE IN A SAMPLE biological, TO KILL CELLS cancer, to inhibit proliferation INDUCED ZCYTOR17LIG or cell differentiation hematopoietic AND PARENTS CELLS hematopoietic, to reduce inflammation INDUCED BY ZCYTORI7LIG, TO SUPPRESS AN INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE IN AN INFLAMMED MAMMER, TO TREAT A MAMMER ACHIEVED BY AN INFLAMMATORY DISEASE AND TO DETECT INFLAMMATION IN A PATIENT. " The present invention relates to zcytor17lig polypeptide, polypeptide and anti-zcytor17 antibody molecules. Zcytor17lig is a new cytokine. Polypeptides may be used with methods of stimulating the immune system, and proliferating and / or developing hematopoietic cells in vitro and in vivo. The present invention also includes methods for making the protein, uses for it and antibodies to it.
