Zusammenfassung:Discoveries are disclosed that show particular aspects of recombinant DNA technology can be used successfully to produce hitherto unknown human lymphokine/cytokine-like proteins free of other lymphokines or cytokines. These proteins can be produced from DNA segments in cells or cell-free systems in various functional forms. These forms variously enable biochemical and functional studies of these novel proteins as well as production of antibodies. Means are described for determining the level of activation of genes for the lymphokine/cytokine-like proteins, for example, by measuring mRNA during mitogenic activation of isolated T cells or by measuring antigen secreted in extracellular or body fluids.
