Abstract
The invention provides novel polynucleotides and polypeptides encoded by such polynucleotides and mutants or variants thereof that correspond to a novel human secreted CD84-like polypeptide. These polynucleotides comprise nucleic acid sequences isolated from cDNA library from human spleen (Hyseq clone identification numbers 2938352 (SEQ ID NO: 1)). Other aspects of the invention include vectors containing processes for producing novel human secreted CD84-like polypeptides, and antibodies specific for such polypeptides.
Claims7
A method for detecting an isolated polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence which is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:
- 4, or the mature protein portion thereof, in a sample comprising:
- a) contacting the sample with a compound that binds to and forms a complex with the polypeptide under conditions and for a period of time sufficient to form the complex;
- and
- b) detecting formation of the complex, so that if the polypeptide/compound complex is detected, said polypeptide is detected.
