(57) [Summary]nThe present invention provides amino acid sequences and nucleotides that identify and encode a novel expressed chemokine (ADEC) expressed in inflammatory adenoid tissue. The present invention includes an antisense molecule against the nucleotide sequence encoding ADEC, an expression vector for producing purified ADEC, an antibody capable of specifically binding to ADEC, a hybridization probe for detecting the nucleotide sequence encoding ADEC, or Also included are diagnostic tests for inflammation or disease based on oligonucleotides, bioengineered host cells for expression of ADEC, antibodies capable of specifically binding to ADEC, or nucleic acid molecules encoding ADEC. |
