STEROID 21-HYDROXYLASE FRAGMENTS AND ASSAYS USING THE SAME

摘要

Polypeptides comprising an amino acid sequence of steroid 21-hydroxylase containing an epitopic region for adrenal autoantibody are useful in assay for adrenal autoantibodies or the therapy of adrenal autoimmune disease. The polypeptides may be synthetic or expressed by novel transformants transfected with DNA encoding the polypeptides.
