Abstract: DNA isolates coding for the lymphocyte homing receptor and methods of obtaining such DNA are provided, together with expression systems for recombinant production of the lymphocyte homing receptor useful in therapeutic or diagnostic compositions.

Abstract: This invention concerns novel receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase polypeptides. Specifically, this invention concerns the novel receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase .lambda. which is related to the homotypically adhering receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases .kappa. and .mu.. The invention further relates to analogs of these polypeptides in other mammals, functional derivatives thereof, antibodies which are capable of specifically binding to these polypeptides, nucleic acids encoding these polypeptides, vectors containing and capable of expressing such nucleic acid and recombinant host cells transformed with such nucleic acid. Methods for the recombinant production of these receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase polypeptides and assays for identifying agonists and antagonists of these polypeptides are also within the scope of the invention.

Abstract: Novel polypeptides are provided, together with methods for making and using them, and nucleic acids encoding them. These polypeptides are useful as cell surface adhesion molecules and ligands, and are useful in therapeutic or diagnostic compositions and methods.

Abstract: An improved method of hybridization with oligonucleotide probes using tetramethylammonium chloride is provided. The method is useful for screening mixtures of DNA sequences, including libraries of high DNA sequence complexity, with a single oligonucleotide probe or a pool of probes representing all possible codon choices for a short amino acid sequence.

Abstract: The invention relates to glycoprotein ligands of selectins. The invention further relates to methods and means for preparing and to nucleic acids encoding these ligands. The invention further concerns a method of treating a symptom or condition associated with excessive binding of circulating leukocytes to endothelial cells by administering to a patient in need of such treatment a glycoprotein ligand of a selectin.

Abstract: This invention concerns selectin variants having an amino acid alteration at a site or sites of a selectin lectin domain amino acid sequence within a region defined by binding sites recognized by blocking monoclonal antibodies to the corresponding selectin unaltered in the lectin domain. Nucleotide sequences encoding such variants, expression vectors containing such nucleotide sequences, end host cells transformed with such expression vectors are also within the scope of the invention.

Abstract: A molecularly cloned diagnostic product in the form of a polypeptide with antigenic determinants capable of specifically binding complementary antibody, the polypeptide being expressed from a stable continuous cell line. With a glycoprotein D of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) as the polypeptide, HSV antibody in a specimen is detected in an immunological procedure. With a glycoprotein C fragment from HSV type 2, HSV type 2 may be distinguished from HSV type 1.
