Abstract

The cDNA encoding a member of or a class of novel PF4A receptors has been identified in human tissue. Provided herein is nucleic acid sequence of a PF4A receptor (the IL-8 receptor) useful as a diagnostic and in the recombinant preparation of PF4A receptors. The PF4A receptor is used in the preparation and purification of antibodies capable of binding to the receptor, and in diagnostic assays.
