(57) [Summary]nThe present invention relates to the identification of a gene that is up-regulated by administration of interferon-α corresponding to the cDNA sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. Measurement of the expression products of this gene would be useful in predicting response to treatment with interferon-α and other interferons that act as type 1 interferon receptors. Therapeutic use of the protein encoded by this same gene is also contemplated. |
