MACROPHAGE INFLAMMATORY PROTEINS-3, -4 AND -1 Sg(g)

摘要

There are disclosed a human macrophage inflammatory protein-3, a human macrophage inflammatory protein-4 and a human macrophage inflammatory protein-1 gamma polypeptides and DNA (RNA) encoding such polypeptides. There is also provided a procedure for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques and for producing antibodies against such polypeptides. In the invention there is also provided antagonist/inhibitors against such polypeptides which inhibit the functioning of such polypeptides. Another aspect of the invention provides a combination of the polypeptides of the present invention and a suitable pharmaceutical carrier for providing a therapeutically effective amount of the polypeptides for the treatment of various associated diseases.
