Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide new methods for identifying novel cytokines and other secretion factors and to isolate polynucleotides encoding them, and to provide uses of the cytokines. SOLUTION: Polynucleotides encoding human CTLA-8 and human CTLA-8 polypeptides are disclosed. The inhibition of angiogenesis, inhibition of proliferation of vascular endothelial cells, inhibition of tumor growth, inhibition of angiogenesis-dependent tissue growth, proliferation of myeloid cells or progenitors, proliferation of erythroid cells or progenitors, proliferation of lymphoid cells or progenitors, induction of IFNγ production, the induction of IL-3 production and induction of GM-CSF production are effectively carried out in a subject by using the polynucleotides and the polypeptides.
