DNA ENCODING PRECURSOR OF INTERLEUKIN-1BETA CONVERTING ENZYME-RELATED CYSTEINE PROTEINASE II (ICE rel-II)

A complementary DNA (cDNA) encoding full length form of ICErel-II is identified, sequenced and isolated. The cDNA is cloned into expression vectors for expression in recombinant hosts. The cDNA is useful to produce recombinant full length ICErel-II. The cDNA and the recombinant ICErel-II protein der...

Zusammenfassung:A complementary DNA (cDNA) encoding full length form of ICErel-II is identified, sequenced and isolated. The cDNA is cloned into expression vectors for expression in recombinant hosts. The cDNA is useful to produce recombinant full length ICErel-II. The cDNA and the recombinant ICErel-II protein derived therefrom are useful in diagnostic kits, laboratory reagents and assays. The cDNA and the recombinant ICErel-II protein may be used to identify compounds that affect ICErel-II function, inflammation and cell apoptosis. ICErel-II function, inflammation and cell apoptosis may also be modulated by ICErel-II antisense or gene therapy.
