Abstract
The present invention relates to mouse and human cDNAs for a gene family designated Nramp (natural resistance-associated macrophage protein), involved in macrophage function and responsible for the natural resistance to infection with intracellular parasites, and to the isolation of Nramp sequences from other animal sources. The nucleotide sequences of the mouse and human cDNAs are disclosed, as are the amino sequences of the encoded products. The cDNAs can be expressed in expression constructs. These expression constructs and the proteins produced therefrom can be used for a variety of purposes including diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
