Patent number: 7638286Abstract: Novel polypeptides, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, and related compositions and methods are disclosed for zalpha11, a novel cytokine receptor. The polypeptides may be used within methods for detecting ligands that stimulate the proliferation and/or development of hematopoietic, lymphoid and myeloid cells in vitro and in vivo. Ligand-binding receptor polypeptides can also be used to block ligand activity in vitro and in vivo. The polynucleotides encoding zalpha11, are located on chromosome 16, and can be used to identify a region of the genome associated with human disease states. The present invention also includes methods for producing the protein, uses therefor and antibodies thereto.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2006Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: ZymoGenetics, Inc.Inventors: Scott R. Presnell, Darrell C. Conklin, Julia E. Novak, Angela K. Hammond
