US 6,607,914 B1 · Camello gene family and uses thereof

Abstract

The present invention provides a purified and isolated nucleic acid encoding a camello protein. The present invention also provides a vector comprising nucleic acid encoding camello, a host cell transformed with the vector, and a method for producing recombinant camello protein. In addition, the present invention also provides a purified camello protein. Also provided by the present invention is nucleic acid probes and mixtures thereof specific for camello nucleic acid and antibodies immunoreactive with camello. The present invention also provides a methods for screening for agents which bind to the camello protein and the nucleic acid encoding the camello. Finally, the present invention provides a non-human, transgenic model for camello expression.
