Abstract
Substantially pure nucleic acid molecules encoding the monocyte chemotactic proteins MCP-4 and MCP-5. These molecules and the polypeptides they encode are useful in treating diseases or conditions that: (1) are exacerbated by a local immune response, (2) would benefit from a local immune response, or (3) are caused by infectious agents that gain entry to mammalian cells via the chemokine receptors bound by MCP-4 or MCP-5.
