Abstract

A method useful for regulating cytokine production by a hematopoietic cell by regulating an MEKK/JNKK-contingent signal transduction pathway in such a cell is disclosed. Methods of identifying compounds capable of specifically regulating an MEKK/JNKK-contingent signal transduction pathway in hematopoietic cells, a kit for identifying cytokine regulators, methods to treat diseases involving cytokine production, and cells useful in such methods are also set forth.
