Abstract
Novel human chemokine receptors, MCP-1RA and MCP-1RB, and processes for producing them are disclosed. The receptors, which are alternately spliced versions of MCP-1 receptor protein may be used in an assay to identify antagonists of MCP-1 which are therapeutically useful in the treatment of atherosclerosis and other diseases characterized by monocytic infiltrates.
