The present invention provides novel human cytokines (designated individually as NHC-1 and NHC-2, and collectively as NHC) and polynucleotides which identify and encode NHC. The invention also provides genetically engineered expression vectors and host cells comprising the nucleic acid sequences encoding NHC and a method for producing NHC. The invention also provides for use of NHC and agonists, antibodies, or antagonists specifically binding NHC, in the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with expression of NHC. Additionally, the invention provides for the use of antisense molecules to polynucleotides encoding NHC for the treatment of diseases associated with the expression of NHC. The invention also provides diagnostic assays which utilize the polynucleotide, or fragments or the complement thereof, and antibodies specifically binding NHC.
An isolated and purified polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4.
An isolated and purified polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO:5.
