Abstract
The present invention relates to isolated or non-natural nucleic acids encoding at least a portion of an avianprotein or a variant thereof. Nucleic acids comprising all or part of the-encoding region and/or an untranslated region of acDNA are used as probes for hybridizing and detecting nucleic acids encoding all or part of aprotein. Recombinant cells, tissues and animals containing recombinant nucleic acids including expression vectors and encoding, antibodies to theproteins, assays utilizing thepolypeptide are within the scope of the present invention. Recombinant nucleic acid molecules may contain transcription regulatory sequences, a sequence complementary to a mRNA sequence encoding a-related polypeptide and transcriptional control sequences functional in a recipient cell. Oligopeptides having amino acid sequences derived from the avianprotein may be used to induce the formation of polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to the chickenprotein.
