Abstract
Novel cell surface protein polypeptides and DNA (RNA) encoding such novel cell surface protein and a procedure for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing such novel cell surface protein for the treatment of infection, particularly bacterial infections. Antagonists against such novel cell surface protein and their use as a therapeutic to treat infections, particularly bacterial infections are also disclosed. Also disclosed are diagnostic assays for detecting diseases related to the presence of novel cell surface protein nucleic acid sequences and the polypeptides in a host. Also disclosed are diagnostic assays for detecting polynucleotides encoding cell surface protein family and for detecting the polypeptide in a host.
