Abstract

The present invention relates to the isolation and cloning of the .alpha.-chain of the human IL-3 receptor, which, when expressed together with the .beta.-chain of the human IL-3 receptor, forms a high affinity receptor for human IL-3. The invention further relates to a method for detecting agonists and antagonists of human IL-3 by the use of a cellular host expressing genes for the .alpha.- and .beta.-chains of the human IL-3 receptor.
