Abstract

The invention concerns polypeptides related to human macrophage migration inhibition factor, in particular the polypeptides called MRP-8 and MRP-14, processes for their preparation, mRNAs, DNAs and hybrid vectors coding for those polypeptides, hosts transformed with such a hybrid vector, monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to those polypeptides, and diagnostic methods for inflammatory conditions and cystic fibrosis.
