Abstract
The present invention relates generally to a novel haemopoietin receptor or derivatives thereof and to genetic sequences encoding same. Interaction between the novel receptor of the present invention and a cytokine ligand facilitates proliferation, differentiation and survival of a wide variety of cells. The novel receptor and its derivatives and the genetic sequences encoding same of the present invention are useful in the development of a wide range of agonists, antagonists, therapeutics and diagnostic reagents based on ligand interaction with its receptor.
