Abstract
The invention relates to novel chemokine-like proteins that include two or more newly discovered active domains from different chemokines. Active domains are regions of several contiguous amino acids that are necessary for chemokines' ability to suppress the proliferation of actively dividing myeloid cells, e.g., myeloid progenitor cells, myeloid stem cells, and leukemic cells. The new chemokine-like proteins provide higher myelosuppressive activity than naturally occurring, wild-type chemokines.
