Abstract

The invention relates to substantially pure interleukin 9 receptor molecules and the use thereof. The uses include use as an interleukin-9 inhibitor, as a diagnostic agent for determining interleukin-9, and as a screening agent for pharmaceuticals. The interleukin-9 receptor is characterized as a glycoprotein of about 94 kilodaltons which, upon digestion with N-glycosidase F, yields a peptide of about 54 kilodaltons.
