Abstract
Disclosed are DNA sequences encoding DNA binding polypeptides including androgen receptor (AR) and TR2 polypeptides. Illustratively, human and rat AR-cDNA have 79 kD and 98 kD polypeptide expression products which are immunoprecipitable by human auto-immune anti-androgen receptor antibodies and are capable of binding androgens specifically and with high affinity. Also disclosed are antibodies and immunological methods and materials for detection of androgen receptor and TR2 polypeptides and hybridization methods and materials for detection of AR-and TR2-related nucleic acids.
