Abstract
The present invention relates to nucleotide sequences encoding a modulator of NF-&kgr;B, and to the polypeptides encoded by the nucleotide sequences. In particular, the invention relates to nucleotide sequences and the polypeptides encoded thereby, wherein the polypeptides are involved in the response to NF-&kgr;B-activating stimuli, including HTLV-1 Tax, LPS, PMA and IL-1. The invention also relates to antibodies to the modulator of NF-&kgr;B, methods of detecting modulator of NF-&kgr;B using the antibodies, methods of treatment associated with NF-&kgr;B activation and to methods of identifying compounds which modulate the activity of the modulator of NF-&kgr;B.
