Abstract
The present specification provides a means for specifying the condition and type of immune-related diseases on the basis of knowledge about the polarization of the distribution of helper T-cell subsets Th1 and Th2. More specifically, the gene (B19), specific only to the human Th2, is prepared by a subtraction method. A human-Th2-specific protein which the gene encodes is produced by recombinant methods, and a monoclonal antibody against the Th2-specific protein and a hybridoma which produces the monoclonal antibody is provided.
