  • Patent number: 6683160
    Abstract: Isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided which encode Fkhsf, as well as mutant forms thereof. Also provided are expression vectors suitable for expressing such nucleic acid molecules, and host cells containing such expression vectors. Assays that are based upon the nucleic acid sequences disclosed herein (as well as mutant forms thereof), may be used for identifying numerous molecules that modulate the immune system. Molecules that specifically bind to an Fkhsf polypeptide are also provided as useful, such as, for modulating the biological activities of Fkhsf. In particular, antibodies that are specific for Fkhsf polypeptide are provided for uses such as for detecting the expression of an Fkhsf polypeptide in cells, isolating an Fkhsf polypeptide, and modulating the activity of an Fkhsf polypeptide.
