  • Avian cytokines and genetic sequences encoding same
    Patent number: 9051369
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to novel recombinant polypeptides having avian cytokine properties and to genetic sequences encoding same. More particularly, the present invention is directed to recombinant avian Type III interferon polypeptides, and genetic sequences encoding same, together with cellular expression systems and uses for same. Even more particularly, the present invention is directed to avian interferon-? (IFN-?) and functional derivatives, homologues and fragments thereof and to methods of use thereof.
