Abstract
Polypeptides and proteins comprising the CD2-binding domain of LFA-3 are disclosed. DNA sequences that code on expression for those polypeptides and proteins, methods of producing and using those polypeptides and proteins, and therapeutic and diagnostic compositions are also disclosed. Deletion mutants unable to bind CD2 and methods for their use are also disclosed. In addition, fusion proteins which comprise the CD2-binding domain of LFA-3 and a portion of a protein other than LFA-3, DNA sequences encoding those fusion proteins, methods for producing those fusion proteins, and uses of those fusion proteins are disclosed.
