  • DNA molecule encoding a mast cell function-associated antigen (MAFA)
    Patent number: 6034227
    Abstract: An isolated DNA sequence encoding a mammalian mast cell function-associated antigen (MAFA) is provided. A soluble derivative of the MAFA is obtained by culturing a host cell transformed by a recombinant expression vector comprising a sequence of said DNA encoding a form of soluble MAFA, and may be used for screening potential ligands of the MAFA. The ligands, alone or in combination with the MAFA, may be used in pharmaceutical compositions for the prevention of inflammatory and allergic reactions.
