Abstract
The present invention relates to genes and their encoded proteins which induce immunological effector cell activation and chemattraction. The proteins of the invention attract subsets of immunological effector cells and stimulate them to express their specialized effector cell functions. Such proteins, termed Ap-1 proteins, are expressed by lymphoid cells, and bind to effector cells such as macrophages and mast cells. In particular, the Ap Pursuant to the provisions of 35 U.S.C. .sctn.202(c), it is hereby acknoledged that the Governament has certain rights in this invention, which was made in part with funds from the National Institutes of Health.
