Abstract

The invention provides methods and compositions relating to IL-1RAcP proteins that regulate cellular signal transduction and transcriptional activation, and related nucleic acids. The polypeptides may be produced recombinantly from transformed host cells from the disclosed IL-1RAcP encoding nucleic acids purified from human cells. The invention provides isolated IL-1RAcP hybridization probes and primers capable of specifically hybridizing with the disclosed IL-1RAcP genes, IL-1RAcP-specific binding agents such as specific antibodies, and methods of making and using the subject compositions in diagnosis, therapy and in the biopharmaceutical industry.
