Abstract
This invention provides for the cloning and expression of the human Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1.alpha. (MIP-1.alpha.)/RANTES Receptor. This receptor binds two cytokines MIP-1.alpha. and RANTES which are pro-inflammatory cytokines. The receptor is useful for assaying the levels of these cytokines in biological specimens. These cytokines play key roles in the inflammatory processes afflicting man.
